6400 couples kissed simultaneously in Hungary to set a new world record on June 10, 2007. Previously, the record was set by the Philippines. This is apparently a contest between the Filipinos and the Hungarians. The record set previous to the Philippines was by Hungary. When Filipinos created a new record, Hungarians defiantly organized this latest smooching record breaker event.
Since we are on the topic of romance in this Blog, I just want to raise a question. Can this record breaking moment be considered a romantic moment in time? When I first read about this event, I thought to myself this is for sure one of the most unromantic moments. Can you really imagine that while you are kissing the one you love, 12,800 other people are smooching right next to you. Yuck! I'd feel awkward and uncomfortable. Then, a few hours later, I had a second thought. My mind wondered about all the other times people actually kiss in public alongside other kissing couples. Think New Year's Eve, the ball drop in Time Squares at midnight and thousands of couple kiss regardless that they may be in the middle of Time Square, street, home or party. Would I kiss my significant other at such a moment? Probably. Yeah, love is blind and the excitement of the moment can cause all of us to do strange things.
