I just came back from a weekend trip to Berlin which happened to also coincide with the World Cup this year. Seeing that Germany beat Sweden Germans flocked to the streets on Saturday to celebrate their victory. Berlin was basked in a sea of German flags and time stood still for the remainder of the day.
Would be of course interesting to be around if they indeed happen to win the World Cup. But maybe best to stay home after all…
I read an interesting article this morning. Dr. Hajime Kimata, a Japanese doctor, recently conducted an experiment with people suffering from allergies. He recruited 24 couples who were instructed to kiss for a period of 30-minutes. Blood samples taken before and after the experiment showed a significant decrease in immunoglobulin E (IgE), which is responsible for triggering symptoms of asthma and hay fever.
While I am one of the lucky ones who has been spared from allergies thus far, the idea of swaping spit does sound more fun than popping pills. So, maybe best put into practice in the name of further research;-)
Happy kissing!
