Great idea! Maybe it would have been more funny when there had been an employee and a customer kissing, because there it would be more obvious that they didn’t know each other before.

@Pman Yes I have seen the Freeze Events. Really awsome: I think this one works in every culture all over the world.
I also think the part of the “mp3″ experiment, where everyone lays down is something what works everywhere the same.

I love to follow this site. Really cool people, with wonderful ideas.

Nikolai, have you seen “Frozen Grand Central”? If not I think you might like it. Although others in different cities tried to do the same(IE Global: Freeze Events in London and Toronto), I personally think Frozen Grand Central still rocks.

Love it!

five couples spontaneusely forming in the three sitting rows of a Bank waiting room is quite a lot. and if you are sitting there hearing the flirting you will notice but propably avoid staring…

i appreciate the original idea!

go mieli valta :)

I also think, that there were not enough people to get noticed. It would be funny if there were 50 People kissing in the bank.

What I am really interested in, which “mission” works in what culture the same or what are the differences. Ok the “nopants” mission has probably in every western culture the same effekt. (Question: What would happen if just 2 People walk around have naked. Is this in the US “normal” or would it be a problem?? I mean if you do this in a islamic culture you have more than trouble.)
But are there missions, which just work in one culture?

What I would love to see is a mission which is “growing up”. What I mean by that. A mission which starts maybe small and gets bigger. A lot of missions are “spot-mission” (you go somewhere, do something and leave). But what about a mission which might starts small but gets bigger. At first a few people notice, but after a week, have of the city or more, go on a pilgrimage.
To me it should be something what spreads out life. It should not something where people get hurt. I would love to see a mission, where people get “blessed with life”. Something what is not a “hahaha how stupid are those people”, instead “wow, even if it was a mission, i really loved it.”

keep on changing

Good idea, but too few people and nobody noticed. Too bad.
