Free hugs, anyone?

Belgian YouTube channel Would You React decided to test Belgium by carrying out what they called a "social experiment". The question asked was whether the three Belgian regions (Wallonia, Flanders and Brussels) were different as for showing their affection in public.

They took a hidden camera and a "Free Hugs" sign and counted the number of hugs (or refusals) they received in Liège, Antwerp and Brussels. Here is what happened:





Conclusion: although Brussels and Antwerp have slightly higher scores than Liège, all three got the same kind of percentage of hugs... around 57% of passers-by are ready to give you hugs, so why not try?
