My Pick for the Wonders of the World
They've finally announced the new Seven Wonders of the World (on 7-7-07), in case you've been living under a rock. The Chichen Itza, Taj Mahal, Petra, Christ Redeemer, Great Wall, Colosseum and Machu Pichu has made the final 7. I've been waiting for this day since I found out about the project but I have to say, I'm not that happy with the results.. well, for two of them at least... Don't get me wrong, the places are ALL beautiful and I will die happily if I have visited all those places in my lifetime, but I just think that there are three who didn't make it that really deserved to be there.
So here's MY pick for the new wonders. I couldn't narrow it down to 7 so I stuck to 8.
I didn't include Petra and the Christ Redeemer, like I said, not because I didn't like them, but because I wanted to include 3 others. So from left to right, top to bottom, here are my eight wonders: Chichen Itza, Taj Mahal, Great Wall, Machu Pichu, Colosseum, Angkor Wat, Stonehenge and the Moai Statues at Eastern Islands. Now isn't that a better list? ^^
Taj Mahal is one of my top picks, because the story of the place is one my favorites. Great Wall, despite being a product of slavery, remains a great marvel because the structure reminds us of the skilled workers responsible. Also, it is the only structure seen from the moon, the last I heard... does that still hold true?
Why did I choose the Angkor Wat, the Moai Statues and the Stonehenge? The Angkor Wat because of it's beauty and sanctity. It is a great place of worship and the intricate style and design done is hard to pass up. The Moai Statues because they were carved from compressed volcanic ash! How creative was that? And of course, Stonehenge. I really can't believe they didn't include this one. It was built during pre-historic times, withstood the test of time, and still remains to be one of the greatest mysteries in the world. How could you NOT include it?!
That said, I'm still pretty happy that they included really nice places in the list. And now, I am making it a life goal to be able to visit all the 7 new wonders and with that, my own list of 8 wonders. Currently, I have only been to two (on both lists); The Great Wall and Colosseum last 2005 and 2006 respectively.
Why was I wearing the same top?!
