As a counterpoint to the seven wonders of the Ancient world feats of
architecture and sculpture from Ancient times - the American Society of
Civil Engineers created a list of seven wonders of the modern world in
1994. Each structure was chosen based on its function, design, and
engineering achievement at the time it was built. In a certain way, the
wonders of the modern world are more diverse, each representing...

I have never seen any of them. I don't get out much. I have never even been outside the central united states.

To tell you the truth the closer to home we stay I think the safer we are.

I've only seen the Empire State building from that list. If you happen to be planning a trip to see them all, and are hiring a personal assistant, let me know where to send my resume, ok? Tukay wants to come too, especially if there are any smorgas boards along the way....lol


myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (11361)  3 years ago

Well I won't be going......I hate to travel. I was just courious.


myLot reputation of 99/100. catdla1 (3698)   ranked 605 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  3 years ago

Dang! And I had my bags half packed too...lol. I do most of my 'traveling' online. No delays at the airport, no hassle with passports and I can sleep in my own bed at night. With more and more places, exhibits and museums having their displays online, on a good night I can bop all over the world looking at stuff. Works for me.


myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (11361)  3 years ago

If I were you I would take that cute Tukay everywhere. He is a sweetheart. I bet if you had him with you at a drive thru fast food place he would get a free burger!


myLot reputation of 99/100. catdla1 (3698)   ranked 605 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  3 years ago

LOL..you have that right! She loves drive thrus. While she hasn't gotten a whole burger yet, she usually gets a french fry, dog biscuit (some McD's have those at driveups), and back in Massachusetts one of the Dunkin Donuts always gave her a donut hole when I stopped for my coffee.

I've been through the Channel Tunnel several times, but I've seen none of the others. Not even heard of several of them.


myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (11361)  3 years ago

Several times? Do you live close to it?


myLot reputation of 96/100. jwfarrimond (3266)   ranked 1,645 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  3 years ago

I'm in Britain and the Tunnel is the fastest way of getting to France short of flying. I live in the north of England about 230 miles or so from the tunnel but that's only about 2 1/2 hours by high speed train.

myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (11361)  3 years ago

I am not a travel person either. With all the airport security and BS its more like punishment as far as I am concerned.

PPPPFFTTTT!!! Hey Muscles: I've never been to any of them; Never had the means to travel like that ( I wish), no money now for sure; (sigh)!!!

I can only see and enjoy them on TV;



myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (11361)  3 years ago

Well dream personally with all the security measures at airports now I find traveling to be more of a punishment than pleasure.

I have seen the Channel Tunnel because I used to live near it. I am very keen on traveling and did see the Golden Gate Bridge when I was in San Francisco.

If I was to make up my own list of wonders of the world that I have been to I would have:

1. Sydney opera house
2. Sydney harbor bridge
3. The Great Barrier Reef in Australia
4. The Mayan ruins in Guatemala
5. The ATM caves in Belize
6. Petra in Jordan
7. La Digue Island in the Seychelles


myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (11361)  3 years ago

Wow....Now tell me what are the odds of this happening. You mentioned the Sydney Opera House WHILE I had a cd playing titled none other than; "Burt Bacharach with the ydney Symphony Orchestra @ the Sydney Opera House. I rented it at the library and I bet I play it at least a dozen times before I return it. I will probably try to find it at a music store and buy it.happy

Sadly, none of them. I would like to go see the ones that are still in existance and the "new" seven as well. I don't remember the new 7.


myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (11361)  3 years ago

Well you are ahead of me because I did not even know they devised a NEW 7 WONDORS!


myLot reputation of 99/100. writersedge (7235)   ranked 29 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  3 years ago

Yeah, there was a contest a few years ago. Come to think of it, I don't know if that was local, national or worldwide, it might have been something that someone locally made up, but I thought it was worldwide. I'll have to look into it more and see if it was official or just for fun. Thanks and take care.
