What happened to Borobodur??? It should be on the list, and we ARE going there one day right? ;-) I've only been to one on that list -- Great Wall of China. I dont quite agree with the new list that includes ths Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty, Sydney Opera House... They aren't "wonders" in the way Angkor Wat, Machu Pichu, etc are.
