Northern Lights

7 Ancient Wonders:

Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa
Great Wall of China

There's too many world heritage listed places.

Also, which is your favorite building?

------------

Start with me ofc:

Wonders: Great Barrier Reef and the Grand Canyon.

World Heritage Listed: Uluru National Park, and Great Barrier Reef again.

Building: Q1 (Worlds tallest residential building, until Burj Dubai is built) and the ex-Twin Towers / WTC's, also the Empire State Building.

You?

Most impressive place ive seen is, The Biltmore Estate, lol nothing special...but it is the largest privately owned house in America. Not much of a traveler

Wow I googles images of that place, it looks amazing!

Angkor Wat - Cambodia.

Its an entire city still intact. Similar to Rome.

Despite the landmarks i've seen, despite the famous buildings of my country i have visited.. i still find more joy sitting on my giant rock, in the car park near tafe. Simply sitting in the morning sun, reading a book and eating a yogo before a long day of studying. Bliss at its finest

i've come across a lot of nice places. couple of my favs
are:

australia - great barrier reef, twelve apostles
asia - forbidden city, chinese wall, terracotta army,
couple of temples around china and thailand
europe - too much to name really. been about everywhere

and i've seen the northern lights twice during my stay
in norway. pretty amazing, too bad it didn't last very
long.

Your "wonders of the world" list, are the natural wonders.

I was like wth did they change the "wonders of the world"?!?

Grand Canyon
Mount McKinley, Alaska
Bahamas; white sandy beaches, and WARM water
The Pyramids.
Taj Mahal.
Jerusalem, the old city.

Only been to the first three, but the others are places I'd like to go.

Toronto. Home sweet home :3

The Venilli or wahts it's called. Louis the XVI's palace

I have been many places, but I would love to see the Northern Lights

PS. Alittle off topic, but what is the Swedish (I believe) holiday where they send fire out into the lakes? I thought it was St. Lucy's day, or winersolstice, but I'm not sure...

Mt Fuji in Japan or Great Wall in China...

I havent been to one of those places.. but I'd like to get jet skiing in the bahamas and just chill on the nice beachs.. i'd like that

id say at santa clauses

I'm going to Egypt next week.

Actually already been there 2 times, but this time I'm going to see the pyramids.
I think it'll be nice, but nothing really too special. I'm not much of sightseeing person. I like nature though.

I'm primarily going there to snorkel. Getting my PADI this time around too.

i want to go to the parthenon
