Which are your favorites? Which do you think will win?
Current rankings: http://www.new7wonders.com/index.php?id=522&L=0
I suppose the Great Wall is given among the winners. Some of my favorites are in the bottom 10 list at the moment: Hagia Sophia, Alhambra, Statue of Liberty, Neuschwan- stein Castle and Stonehenge.

Personally i'd go for the Taj Mahal.

Re : Re: 7 wonders
Agreed, it's nice, but not nearly as wonderful as some say the Alhambra or Petra.
I could vote anything but the modern stuff like Christ Redeemer, Sydney Opera, Eiffel Tower and Statue of Liberty.
The only one I actually visited was the Alhambra, so it would likely have gotten my vote.
Re: Re : Re: 7 wonders
Nationalistic voting always plays a part in these sort of farcical polls, why else would the Eiffel Tower be in the top 10 and Angkor Wat in the bottom 10?

Re: 7 wonders
Wonders of the World should be things of which you can say: "that they could have build that!"
So, for me the following should surely be in (if we don't take into account the old wonders):
The Statues of Easter Island
Stonehenge
The Great Wall of China
Neuschwanstein Castle
The Sistine Chapel
Great Zimbabwe
And I'm bound to forget something
