So me and my best friend in the whole world are walking around at the premium outlets just wondering around. Mentally preparing for what shopping around sale specials usually in tails: pushing, pulling and glaring.
In any other city in the world shopping is a very aggressive sport, after all good prices fly of the racks. And I am not saying its any different in Austin except that well ii is the city of WEIRD so beside the above items this particular day of shopping held a surprise.
Outside on the quad a lady held a big sign which read: Free Hugs.
Weird right? I am not saying hugs are weird but hugs given by complete stranger WEIRD.
Well being the antisocial creature that I am. I backed away from this crazy lady avoiding her gaze and bumping straight in to an old lady, that's how deep the need to run possessed me.
But apparently I was the only one with this despair. People around this lady just laughed and received their free hugs.
It wasn't until later on I learned that there is a free hugging campaign going on. apparently one can find all kinds of free hug videos on the YouTube.
So if you are not as socially challenged as me you might want to look at the videos and try promoting this new campaign at your city. Good luck with that.
There are like hundreds of videos just imput free hugs and the city of your desire.
Here is an example video.
