What wonders have you seen with your own eyes?

[allhailIndia]

Check all applicable...Seeing in TV/photo/movie not counted, you must have been in the physical presence of the wonder.

Except in the case of the Apollo Mission; it is enough if you saw it live on TV

..and only wonders still standing count..

Oh and feel free to add any others in the game which I might have left out due to lack of space e.g. Oxford or Shakespeare's Theater e.g., that are still standing

and no National Epic and Heroic Epic don't count

Since I was born just outside of NYC, I've seen the Statue of Liberty, Broadway and the UN. I've been to LA, but I don't remember seeing the Hollywood sign.

 

[SuperBeaverInc.]

Only Mt. Rushmore.

I may have seen the Hollywood sign, but I was quite young when I went to LA, so I can't remember.

 

[Truronian]

I've seen Stonehenge and should be going to Oxford univerity next year . I've to see any of the other wonders though.

 

[shmily_dana]

Been to Johnson Space Center in Houston. Have a picture of me next to a mock-up LM. Worked at McDonnell Douglas (several years after Apollo) where many parts were made. Been to White Sands Missile Base, where they did some telemetry. But I really wish I had seen a Saturn V lift-off.

 

[shivute]

I've been to Rhodes, does that count?

 

[Sohan]

I've been to Hollywood, and I've seen the Pentagon and the Statue of Liberty. Although, I don't recall seeing Broadway or the United Nations. That about covers it for me.

Stonehenge, Oxford, Scotland Yard, Globe (well, the site where a reconstruction was going to be) and Buckingham Palace. I'm English, so not difficult for me.
Statue of Liberty, UN building, Broadway on a brief visit to New York. Possibly Wall Street, but don't remember doing so.
Hermitage, Kremlin (my third wife was Russian).
Eiffel Tower, Versailles.
Apollo on TV.
Several Ironworks - well, steelworks, actually.
Oh, and does using The Internet count ?

 

[The Keeper]

One of the Saturn-V rockets is in Huntsville Alabama at the Marshall Space Flight Center.

I did not see it lift off in person, but I have seen moon rocks, walked the entire length of the Saturn V, and was in a room where a lunar astronaut spoke.

So I count that I have seen the Apollo Mission. I didn't actually see the statue of Liberty being built, but I have seen it.

btw, where is the Hermitage?

 

[BadHorsie]

Oh man, that sucks. I haven't seen any of them

 

[BadHorsie]

Buckingham Palace

Uh... that's not a wonder in Civ

...but you did remind me I have seen Oxford University (lame, lol)

 

[jayeffaar]

Looks like I've seen 10 of them so far, which is probably pretty good. But anybody who has travelled a lot can easily beat that.

 

[allhailIndia]

Using the internet....I suppose that is a given else you cannot post on this site...

As for me, my count stops at the Taj Mahal...Hopefully, when I am done with my law degree I can go to Oxford for higher studies and maybe then my count will increase

 

[Bushface]

@MigtheGreek -
The Palace is said to be a national wonder, though it doesn't count as one of the two you can build in a city.
Buckingham Palace is a palace.
I have seen it.
Therefore I have put it on my list.
Simple.

 

[The Great Apple]

Errr - I didn't mean to click on the Sistine Chapel. Was going for Notre Dame and didn't notice that I'd missed.

I too have been to Buck Palace, and live in Oxford, so I could hardly fail to miss the university.

 

[Truronian]

... and live in Oxford, so I could hardly fail to miss the university.

Why does your location say Cambridge then? And mor eimportantly, which way do you punt?

 

[The Great Apple]

Why does your location say Cambridge then? And mor eimportantly, which way do you punt?

Because I'm at university in Cambridge. I couldn't apply to a second rate uni - even if it was close to home .

I punt from the flat end. The proper end. You get more grip, get a better view of the river, and you look so much cooler. You also get evil looks when you go and do it in Oxford, which is fun.

 

[Bongo-Bongo]

Stonehenge and Scotland Yard are the only ones that I can think of.

 

[Yaype]

Sistine Chapel, Statue of Liberty, and the Pentagon. I've also been to the Johnson Space Center in Houston, but I guess I was thinking more along the lines of where they actually launch the spaceships (i.e., Florida).

This poll just reminds me that I have lots of places to see in life.

 

[Shadowsong]

I have seen a few. (Mt. Rushmore, The Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame) I have also seen The Forbidden Palace and The Great Wall. The Great Wall was really worth the visit, amazing wonder.
