Seven Wonders of the World? Vote on Them!

by Iva Skoch (RSS feed) on May 21st 2007 at 8:10PM

This is following up on a post by Jamie back in February. There's only little more than a month left to "vote" on your favorite Seven Wonders of the World, at New7Wonders. July 6, 2007, is the deadline.

Apparently, there have been a staggering 45 million votes on line so far. You can login and choose from between twenty-one buildings or man-made features currently standing.

Right now, the three leaders are the Acropolis, Chichen Itza, and the Coliseum.

The site was started by a Swiss filmmaker who wanted to raise funds to re-raise one of the Buddha statutes dynamited by the Taliban in 2001. (Price tag for the reconstruction? A staggering $50m.) Donations are welcome, and they are going to help preserve these sites.

Taj Mahal..
You just cant imagine the beauty of it, First time i visited Agra i thought its enough spending couple of hours since i had seen it lot many times in pictures in newspapers. But when i visited i cursed my self for not able to spend enough time (i spent 6 hrs that time). I made it up for it by spending a whole day next time i visited...its just mesmerising. No contention, it SHOULD be part of the new world wonders ..period.
