Re: 7 wonders of the modern world
I voted for:
- Angkor Wat, Cambodia: because it's so outstanding symmetrical and imposing; building it in the middle of jungle must have been a huge task
- Channel Tunnel, UK and France: because it's the most outstanding engineering project of the modern times in my opinion
- Great Wall, China: because it's the biggest construction ever, and some say it can be seen even from the Moon (which I doubt); 1 million died to build it
- Eiffel Tower, Paris, France: beautifully simple and complex in the same time; the cityscape from the top it's amazing
- Statue of Liberty, New York, USA: because it's a symbol of liberty
- St. Pietro Basilica, Vatican: because no other church in the world can match this one
- Taj Mahal, Agra, India: because it's probably the most beautiful building in the world
