The "I Can Eat Glass" Project
"The Project is based on the idea that people in a foreign country have an irresistable urge to try to say something in the indigenous tongue. In most cases, however, the best a person can do is 'Where is the bathroom?' a phrase that marks them as a tourist. But, if one says 'I can eat glass, it doesn't hurt me,' you will be viewed as an insane native, and treated with dignity and respect."
Rare person who nibbles glass cups
Lin bit the glass cup like [a] sweet apple, and chewed the glass into pieces like roasted bean. The waiters and waitresses were all amazed to see the glass cups [which] were eaten one by one, and some waitresses were so frightened to see [this]. Lin told them with [a] smile after [he] swallowed the bits of glass: "Don't be afraid, the glass is just like food in my mouth."
