New 7 Wonders

The Great Wall of China is one of the 21 nominations for the New 7 Wonders of the World. Of the Seven Ancient Wonders, only the Pyramids of Giza are still standing, so now it's time to choose the New 7 Wonders of the Modern World. Anyone can vote, however, there are only about 40 more voting days left. The winners will be announced 7-07-07 in Portugal. Click on the link to the right to find out more.

The list of nominations includes the Statue of Liberty, Angor Wat, the Taj Mahal, the Eiffel Tower and many other monuments, religious places and ancient cities around the globe. It's fun to learn about the places on the website and see the different projects that have been done by students around the world. Today I noticed that they now have a 'New Wonders' song and a shopping site for memorabilia. Of course, I had to buy. I bought a pin for each of 8 places that I personally have been to or will be visiting before the end of '07, including my December trip to Cancun and, of course, my China travels. 7 Ancient Wonders

So, here's my location question for this post. Who can name the 8 wonders that I personally have seen (or will see within the next 6 months)?
AND: Of those, which two will I see this year (haven't actually been there yet)?

Here are the coordinates:

1. N 40° 40' 20" ; W 74° 2'42.4"
2. N 51° 4' ; W 1° 48'
3. N 48° 51' 32" ; E 002° 17' 45"
4. N 37° 7' ; E 107° 5'
5. N 20° 40' ; W 88° 32'
6. N 47° 44' 00" ; E 10° 19' 02"
7. N 41° 53' 24" ; E 12° 29' 31"
8. S 33° 51' 35" ; E 151° 12' 50"

The Trip

Well, I'm set! I've sent in my passport for Visa stamps, taken care of government paperwork, booked my rooms and flights. Now, I focus on packing and thinking about my project.

Since this is an educator seminar (Fulbright-Hays) I am required to design a project for the enlightenment of my students and the community where I live and work. I am doing a 'Where in China' project. Using a GPS I will post co-ordinates of different places that I visit with a clue about the place or city. You (and my students) can use the information to figure out where it is. On the following post I will give more information and pictures of that place.

So, how did I get involved in this? I'll post more on this later...
