I've done a certain amount of travelling in my life but I've only managed to see 2 of them so far. I'm using the New Seven Wonders of the world list here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Seven_Wonders_of_the_World

Also including Giza as the "8th wonder".

The one's I've seen are the Colosseum and The Great Wall of China. Don't remember seeing the Great Wall though because I was only 2 or 3 at the time.

Petra when I was in middle east as part of work and Colosseum as a kid when parents dragged me to Europe. Prolly why I hate traveling to this day.

Still think that that 'Christ' statue doesn't belong on the list. The others are amazing accomplishments for the time they were made in, rather than something made with modern materials and modern construction methods and about as much of a miracle as the average skyscraper or modern bridge.

I've seen Christ the Redeemer and the Colosseum.

Of the two, the Colosseum is vastly more impressive as a building, but the view from the mountain where Christ stands, might just be the best in the world.

In N Out >>>> any of the so called "seven wonders" I can't get a delicious as hell protein style burger at the pyramids. I'll take food over visuals any day of the week.

You probably can. As far as I can recall that tourist area is full of...tourist things.

But it's not an In N Out, it will be something shitty like Mcdonalds or Burger King. Or they'll have some gay "local" crap like a double lamb burger with feta cheese.

I've never had In N Out so I couldn't say. I imagine a local burger would probably be fair competition. There's only so many ways you can make a burger.

Is this thread going to morph into a Five Guys is better than In-and-Out?....

If only they would merge. Five Guys fries and In & Out's burgers....hmmm

In & Out with Five Guys...

On 2nd thought, maybe not a good idea.
