Kissing Strangers

Yang Ya-Ching Gets to Know Paris With '100 French Kisses' Project

Paris is known throughout the world as the city of love, and Yang Ya-Ching has embarked on a curious project to test that theory in which she will kiss 100 strangers in Paris. According to Materialiste, Yang Ya-Ching says that the project came from a desire to “know Paris.” Kissing 100 strangers would certainly give someone an intimate glimpse of the people who make up a city.

Would you kiss 100 strangers, as Yang Ya-Ching is currently doing? I’d be too fearful of catching something yucky to be able to enjoy the cultural and romantic experience.
