i have a wish

I recall coming across a book titled "100 places to visit before you die".

and i came to have this wish to visit the 7 wonders of the world with mr goh during our lifetime.

but not sure what the 7 wonders of the world exactly is... i went to google for it.

From wikipedia:

Listed in order of their construction, the seven wonders are:

Great Pyramid of Giza
Hanging Gardens of Babylon (I heard that this does not exist anymore...)
Temple of Artemis at Ephesus
Statue of Zeus at Olympia
Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus
Colossus of Rhodes
Lighthouse of Alexandria


Tourist travel wonders
The following list of the top seven existing tourist travel wonders was compiled by Hillman Wonders:[1]

Great Pyramid of Giza
Great Wall of China
Taj Mahal
Serengeti Migration
Galapagos
Grand Canyon
Machu Picchu (Where is this Machu Picchu place??????)


Natural wonders
Similar to the other lists of wonders, there is no consensus on a list of seven natural wonders of the world, as there has been debate over how large the list should be. One of the many lists was compiled by CNN [2]:

Grand Canyon
Great Barrier Reef
Harbor of Rio de Janeiro
Mount Everest (I don't think i can reach the top of this mountain sia..... )
Northern Lights
Paricutín volcano
Victoria Falls


SO MANY DIFFERENT VERSIONS! which one to follow sia....

and the 8th wonder of the world is .................KING KONG (or alternatively, DUMBO).

Faint.
