How much money you Westerners have to visit all those wonders? Just joking . You really are lucky to have seen all these wonders. Because I haven't seen any of them.
I was lucky - my father used to work for the UN so he travelled a lot, and when I was young my mum and I tagged along. Also living in Europe helps, as there are lots of European wonders relatively close to each other - France and England, the two countries I've lived in for most of my life, have six wonders between them. And I wouldn't have seen the Terracotta Army, the Great Wall or Sydney Opera House if I didn't have relatives in Australia and China.
Where did you get mugged if you don't mind me asking (in a general area)? Parts of asia? I've done a good bit of hitchhiking in Europe and Russia (and a little in South America) without any problems (knock on wood), except for one time getting pickpocketed on a bus.
Thinking of SE asia and china next year, likely hitching, but the older I get the more skittish I get about my less conventional methods of travel.
Haven't seen as many as some people here, but have been to:
- Broadway
- Statue Of Liberty (from a distance)
- Big Ben
- Louvre
- Notre Dame
- Eifel Tower
- Chichen Itza (nice but personally liked Uxmal and Tikal much better)
- Alhambra
- Leaning Tower
- Ufizi
- Sistine Chapel
- Circus Maximus (if that counts)
Ha - I read that as actual time travelling - which would enable you to see the Colossus, the Great Library, the Great Lighthouse, the Temple of Artemis, the Statue of Zeus, the Mausoleum in all their glory - and maybe the Hanging Gardens too, if you can work out where it is, that is
Borobudur (I'm Indonesian, so yeah), Big Ben, Louvre, Sydney opera house, Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, UN(in geneva), CN tower, Great Wall, Forbidden Palace, Great Firewall (my Kaspersky rocks! )
