It seems everywhere you go these days there’s someone offering the Free Hugs that were started by Juan Mann in 2004 and gained international exposure in 2006 on youtube.
Maybe it’s due to market saturation but things are crook in Tullarook when this lass can’t get so much as a free hug in the few minutes i was there.
Not one punter dare make their way closer for a free hug.
As the minutes passed she looked more and more despondent.
The wind sweeping her hair across her lonely face.
Waiting and hoping for that one sweet embrace.
I was flying solo that day and didn’t have anyone to take a picture … and hence there was no hugging.
Check out the official Free Hugs Campaign site and also the video on youtube.

Hm, perhaps she’d have gotten more takers if her sign wasn’t in English?
Personally, I’d rather not give out free hugs to just anyone. There are some scary people that live in my city.
There’s plenty of others close by getting some loving ….. and the signs are always in English, 99% could read that i’m sure.
Is there some backstory as to why the signs are always in English? Seems kinda strange… I know it’s not the same as standing on the street corner in Omaha with FREE HUGS written in Kanjii, but still…
Not sure why ……… guess they’re expecting foreigners to take them up on the hugs.
Aww she looks so lonely!! Where exactly is this? And was there someone with her getting footage?
Omotesando Dori in Harajuku …. and maybe
I can’t believe you didn’t take the free hug (I know, most people would’ve said pics or it didn’t happen)!
Seems legit to me ^^ Or is there some type of scam? Like those crying girls in Akihabara?
I think it was legit ….. but then again i didn’t get close enough and get the hug. Maybe as was mentioned to me by someone else, had i hugged her my next post might have been “The Day I Lost My Wallet” or similar.
Then I definitely would have gone up for that hug. I keep my money in my front pockets
I would totally hug this girl! I feel bad that no one hugged her! Poor lass! I hate to say this Neil, but I’m actually disappointed in you.
(i’m not really, but man, you should not pass up the chance to hug a cute girl… EVER!!!!)
Had i had a beer or 2 we might still be hugging now …. but it was before lunch so no such luck.
mmm that’s not good enough! When you see a half decent looking lady on the street offering free hugs, u take it Mr! That’s the law!
niel, i thought for sure the last frame would be of you and her in an embrace!
I woiuld’ve gone for it. Much rather her over the dodgy-looking foreigner hanging out in front of Shibuya Station I saw one time…
Hahaha, there’s always one foreigner on the scrounge for a free hug isn’t there.
I woulda hugged it
screw my wallet its broke most of the time….c’mere and gimme a hug!
you could have always taken a photo of you two hugging from an arm’s length away. ^^
Ohh Neil – you too disappointed her.
I would of sat there all day hugging her…. it’s because I am such a nice guy…
Free hug by a nice looking woman, that’s a no brainer.
there was a cute gal there… no one hug her… what a wasted.
i still remember few month back my state also have a free hug days, and there are some cute chick there. a lot guy went to hug them…lolz but not including me, I just stand around shooting picture
I’d feel like a big of a dick hugging her to be honest, much prefer to take her picture.
just means more for me…
Free hugs are always fun. It makes everyone feel good. I usually hug the people giving them away in Shibuya.
It seems less risky to hug a guy than a girl like this XD The first thing that came to mind was “lawsuit”
Too true Steve …. much less enjoyable though.
I’d hug it.
Though I always suspect these free hug deals are really just pickpocket operations.
You and me both Jordan … the pickpockets that is.
thats why you should tie your walet to your package.. that way when they try to grab it you will get your monies worth… ha!
I would have hooked her up with a free hug, that’s what I’m all about. Check it out.
