Free Hugs

February 4, 2009 · 37 comments

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.

Harajuku People

One of the more interesting sites in Japan on a Sunday is Harajuku and the surrounding areas, from Meiji Jingu Shrine to of course the bridge leading over to it, where most Sundays there’ll be a gathering of Japanese youth dressed in their cosplay of choice.

New camera in hand i took a walk around Harajuku last weekend.

The Shrine was quite busy on what was a pretty cold winters day.

Ice Sculptures

While on my way to take some pics of the Seijin No Hi action the other week i came across this display of Ice Sculptures in Harajuku.

What i thought was going to be 1/2 a dozen or so sculptures turned into at least 30 and it made for a scenic walk down to the shrine.

Too bad all the photos have that damn red rope in front of them, kind of spoils it but you get the idea.
