Wonders of the World
The world is a wonderful place. And people love to make lists with catchy names like the Seven Wonders of the Ancient/Modern/Postmodern/Future World. I don't really have a list of my own because really, is there anything sadder than an unfulfilled list? Why do that to yourself? Just find somewhere that interests you and go!
