Allergic? Beware of nutty kissers 2 000 couples to lock lips

Jakarta - About 300 people have taken part in an annual kissing festival in the Indonesian resort island of Bali.

Mainly young men and women took part in the ritual, meant to ward off unexpected dangers.

The event in the main town Denpasar was traditionally a cheeks-only affair but lip-kissing has become the norm in recent years.

Bali is mainly Hindu, unlike most of Indonesia, which is the world's most populous Muslim nation.

Debate is currently raging in the south-east Asian country over anti-pornography legislation, which proposes up to five years in jail for people caught kissing in public.
