The Wonders of the World
A quick search on Google gave me the following lists. I've only visited about a fourth of the places. Granted, some of the wonders from the ancient world no longer exist. I'm hoping to visit every one of them someday. Which ones have you visited?
I am mirroring this list from a friend's blog site. However, who put the statue of Liberty next to the Great Wall of China? or the Eiffel Tower is no way in comparison to the Taj Mahal of India!! Whoever that made this list is very biased towards giving credit to the modern Western civilization.
