I just voted here! My choices: Colesseum, Eiffel Tower, Great Wall of China, Kremlin/St. Basil, Stonehenge, Sydney Opera House, and the Taj Mahal.
The official declaration of the New 7 Wonders of the World will be in Lisbon, Portugal on July 7, 2007.

QUOTE(robbotic @ Jun 5 2007, 11:05 PM)  Why are they changing it?? "I thought as a millennium project it would be fun … to have all the people of the world select what they decide to be the new Seven Wonders of the World," said project organizer Bernard Weber. [Source]Just for a new change, I guess? I'm quite happy with the current ones but there are way more than 7 great monuments (obviously) still standing today so I don't mind. Others get their time to shine. |

here are my votes:
STATUE OF LIBERTY - because of its symbolism of freedom [and cause it's just really well known] ACROPOLIS OF ATHENS - cause i learned about it and how it was made [really hard] ROMAN COLOSSEUM - i also learned about it..and its history EIFFEL TOWER - enough said [and i visited it] GREAT WALL OF CHINA - its long TAJ MAHAL - hmmmm KREMLIN AND RED SQUARE - looks really cool |
