The New Seven Wonders of the World
If you go to this link, you can vote for the new Seven Wonders of the World.
Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Can we really exchange the Acropolis for the Statue of Liberty? Can we even compare the two? On one hand, it does seem like a rather interesting concept - that we can choose those monuments that we consider to be deserving of the title "Wonder". Do we consider them to be "Wonders" because of what we've heard about them? Or because we've seen them? Or because someone told us that we should?
I haven't voted yet, but I have quite enjoyed looking at the site - remembering the places where I have been and dreaming about the places I still want to visit - which is exactly what I expect my mom and Meron will do as well.
Complete listings of the Wonders of the (Natural/Ancient/Medieval/Modern etc) World can be found here.
