On Saturday evening I was watching on TV how Hungarians broke a world record in simultaneous kissing. More than 6,400 couples joined lips for a few seconds at a party outside the country’s parliament, a nice and romantic place indeed :).

In 2004, 5,327 couples kissed in Manila and Filipinos broke the record. In 2005 a new record by Hungarians followed when in Budapest 6,124 couples kissed. This February brought the championship title back to Philippines thanks to the 6,124 kissing couples and now the Hungarians claimed the world record back.

Do you know why other nations don't participate in the simultaneous kissing "contest"? I don't. But who cares? All we have to do is to wait until Filipinos break the record again. I wonder how many couples will be kissing in Manila. By the way, do you know how they count all those couples with a pretty good precision? I don't know that either :)
