We've been meeting up here in Gothenburg, Sweden for many years now in the most busy area in Scandinavia to hug our hearts out! It's always so much fun and we're of course gonna to do it again this year...
This year we took it to the next level and had a choir called "The Voices of the Earth" as well as a dance group called "Go Baow". Also I made sure to promote the Steem blockchain, truly an epic day...
WOW @reko see you are fst becoming a steem celebritym ow youre killing it man, making $300 and $1000 posts multiple ytimes a day, really amazing man, I need to do posts just like yours but in my own city, WOW I have to start doing these outdoor steemit posts to raise my income lvel so I ca start buyinguo houses in Ghana to really create a Utopia, man with all this money your getting I just KNOW that the project you invest it into will be incredibly succsful, wow youre gonna b able to do so much steem promotion now with all that SBD profit youre getting!!!!! damn you must be gettin SBD like crazy now! WE MUST follow your model for #teamghana i bet @steem4depoor@emmanueloppong and @kofpato can start doing what you do man, youre success is inspiring!
We will be feeding the poor with @steem4depoor and hending out Cash to people on the street for steemit! it will be big like this man!
Hi Reko. You are doing an absolutely great job to promote "Free hugs", especially on international hugs day (didn't know about that one yet... I will remind myself for next year), with very strong and powerful photos! I keep on smiling when I scroll through them all :)
I am a huge fan on this Free Hugs campaign, primarily for increasing physical interaction (that is lacking in today's digital society) and the physiological benefits for our body and mind. Let's be honest, who doesn't like to get a hug :)
I will feature free hugs (and you, if you'd like) at some point in my blog, focussing on improving human physiology and interaction with technology, but it is great to see that you have been able to gather a group of steemians to share hugs with :)
Yup, such great pictures. Make me feel and want to hug a person. Seeing the pictures and smiles while hugging, I can feel that such have amazing impact. Looking at the photos am pretty sure it gives joy and happiness. It doesn't matter if you're the toucher or touchee, the more we connect with others the happier we will be. Keep hugging!
Wow the shot was so amazing. The black in white makes it more full of emotions.. how i wish i was there enjoying the event with you guys. :'( i really need a hug right now. </3 :'(
Nice photography and design too @reko good to see that people are feeling nice while they hug to others and making good love and relationship with others.
spread the love as much as you can
Peace

Hugs! Yes! The world needs more hugs. With as disconnected as so many of us are from each other, it's amazing what something as seemingly simple as a hug can do. Hugs produce Love.
that's so true and the place we have it on annually is the perfect place to do just that as it's the most passed place in Scandinavia and most people are in the shopping trance!;)
I live in Atlanta, GA and we have the busiest airport in the world. Maybe that would be great place to try something similar! Thanks for such a great idea!
If you ever come out this way, maybe we could make something happen. :)
I'm from the Philippines,too. I really wanted to practice this here in our country, but it seems it's not acceptable. I tried to do it to some of our youth in our church but they're quite hesitant. I know that there are youth that longs to be hug because some parents do not practice this at home, but for me I make it a point to hug my kids at least once or twice a day for at least 20 seconds and to my wife as often as we can. Thanks for sharing this experience @reko...
I agree. pede naman po... marami na po bang pinoy na Steemians? iilan pa lang po nakita ko... follower nyo na din ako.
Saan po kau? Laguna po ako eh...
Zambales po ako...marami na po pinoy na mga Steemians. Mostly from Cebu and Visayas. Pero meron po tayo na mga artista na Steemians na rin gaya nila @janmarini at si @surpassinggoogle from Manila sila.
excellent @reko, it is said, that every time we hug someone with pleasure it is said that we won one more year of life, so that, you are an immortal friend.
