@ MJ: I was there also! At the time, I went up and came down, no problem. I wasn't afraid at all, but after I had a couple of nightmares that I was falling. It's so amazing, though, such an amazing view. We even took one of the buffsters up, and he was only 4. When we came down, we saw a sign that said "only ages 10 and older can go up the pyramid" but it was too late.

Yeah no. I got a little dizzy and super paranoid at the top. I had my back to the wall and just looked around. I didn't enjoy all the idiots running like there was so much room.

I was one of those idiots!!!

I even sat on one of the edges, feet dangling, just taking in the view. It was breathtaking!!!

I was taking a jungle tour that day and they said to wear something to cover yourself from mosquitos. Needless to say, it was so damn hot that I had to roll up my jeans!!

As for one of the Buffsters....KUDOS TO HIM (or HER).................I was cursing every cigarette that I've had!!!

Everyone LOVED my LEAFS hat though!!! I'm such a proud Canadian when I travel abroad!!!!

Not that I care, just asking.. you kno

Shut up and read it! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_wall_of_china#Condition

I doesn't say if you are allowed on it
Anyway, what I had heard, a couple of years ago, is that they were not going to allow any more tourists on the wall, because of the walls state and how damaging it was to have all those people there.... or at least certain portions of it that were in very bad shape

As for your pic.... Nice!
I always wanted to go to Egypt too!

I just came back from some bar in the Flat Iron building and had ravioli with Smirnoff Ice.

Cool,

Would you consider the food you had to be 'wonderful'??

....as in "One of the 7 most wonderful things on this planet"??

No sir.

McO might say his Shepherds Pie is one of the 7 most wonderful things on this planet. As he ate, his eyes rolled back and I noticed some foam at the corner of his mouth as he slurred, "This is orgasmic!!!!"

You have to choose from 21 to pick the 7 Wonders of the World.

If I recall correctly, they have the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World and the 7 Wonders of the Modern World. I think the CN Tower was on that list at one point or another.

Speaking of, the CN Tower will eventually no longer be the World's Tallest Freestanding Structure on Land. It'll be replaced by U.A.E's Burj Dubai in 2008.

That makes me sad.

Ok, now my second real opinion:

I think anything that influeced what civilization is today, should be considered a wonder.
Other than that, everything else that is a gift, or just a memorial landmark of some sort shouldn't really be considered a wonder.

Guadalupana · Foro Master

Well, i'm a natural wonder

Ok, ok, let me go read that article and i'll have more opinions.

GENIE · Foro Master

Apperently there are 7 no more now there are 21 but what do you think? They missed the falls unless i skipped it and the CN tower and a few others that i can think of but whats your take on it now shouldnt the wonders be stuff that you dont know how it was made or built?? thats just me!
