So did anyone here vote on the Seven "new" Wonders of the World? They were announced on July 7th in Lisbon. Here they are:
Seven "new" wonders of the world including the (1)Great Wall of China, the (2)Taj Mahal and the (3)Colosseum in Rome were chosen overnight by nearly 100 million Internet and phone voters, upsetting purists.
The other wonders named were the centuries-old pink ruins of (4)Petra in Jordan, (5)the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, (6)the Incan ruins of Machu Picchu in Peru, and the ancient (7)Mayan city of Chichen Itza in Mexico.
A few that I voted for won. :)
Yesh, I heard that there was a lot of protesting that the Taj Mahal had the possibility that it wouldn't make it. In South Asia they had functions (like concerts, etc) to bring about awareness. I guess they're satisfied now. :D
