I saw this free hug campaign in Shinjuku.
Being in a land where people try NOT to interact with each other, it’s gonna be a surprise if anyone wants free hugs (well sa mga hapon). Nakahandusay ka sa kalye dahil sa hilo o kung anuman, walang tutulong sa iyo. (Pero pagdating sa panyanyansing, nakow! Hehe!)
People here are trained to look the other way. Yang mga napapanood nyo sa anime na matutulungin masyado mga girls and boybs. Not true. It is ideal. Pero yun nga, idealism lang. Something that anime cartoonists wish it was true (like big-breasted, slim-legged 14-year olds.. so not true).
Kaya yung mga nakikita kong free hugs, like they are the grumpiest huggers I have ever seen. Sinong kayang yayakap sa iyo? Hindi naman sa ironic, pero nakakaawa di ba? Kase di sila pinapansin.
Read from this blog:
Give a hug to the “Free Hug†people in Japan if you see them! I’m sure they’re probably lonely.
Game! Next time I see one. I’ll make I give him/her a big one! Ummpph!
(I’ll probably even join them. Hugs anyone?)
