The new seven wonders
There’s a global poll to select a new seven wonders of the world. The shortlist consists of 21 locations and I’ve been fortunate enough to visit 14 of them.
The New 7 Wonders of the World will be announced during the Official Declaration ceremony in Lisbon, Portugal on Saturday, 7 July 2007.

It doesn’t look like you can vote for the pyramids at Giza. I realize they’re the only surviving wonder of the original seven, but I’d keep them on the list!

I forgot to ask… Which ones have you seen, Roger?

Did you not visit Kiyomizu in Kyoto, Roger? Even so, 14 of 21 is an impressive achievement and far greater than my tally 🙁

You’re right, Calvin. I’ve checked my diary and I visited Kiyomizu Temple on 9 October 1998. I saw several temples in Kyoto and I had forgotten the actual names.
So that’s 15 out 21 wonders then!
