Kissing quest makes Taiwan woman a web
sensation
TAIPEI (AFP) - – A Taiwanese woman's ambition to kiss 100 men in
Paris has become an overnight web sensation after she provided
details of the quest on her much-visited blog.
Yang Ya-ching, a 27-year-old music major living in the French
capital, has so far notched up 54 smooches, she said on her blog,
which features photos of some of the encounters.
Collaborators in her project included a factory worker, a model,
an Italian tourist and even a soldier visiting the capital of
romance for Bastille Day.
"I came up with the idea three years ago," she said on her
blog.
"Three of my four friends who were aware of the plan warned me
that I might wind up getting slapped rather than kissed."
Yang, who plans to write a book about her kissing experiences,
has attracted 1.97 million visitors to her blog, including more
than 224,000 on Monday alone.
"Aren't you afraid of catching a disease?" one of her followers
asked.
"No," she replied. "The more you're afraid of, the less you
accomplish."
