The 7 World Wonders

Titten have now visited all 7 new world wonders, that was voted by the world population in 2007 on internet. Here is Tittens ranking over which one that gave him the biggest kicks and strongest expirences.

7th Christ Redemeer: Rio de Janeiro is Tittens favorite city with beautiful landscape,and the view from the mountaintop is fantastic but there is nothing extraoridanry about the statue itself.


6th Chichen Itza: Nice Pyramids in stone, but Titten personally find the Angkor Wat city in Cambodia more impressing and think that if Cambodia had the same population as Mexico they would changed spot.


5th Colusseum: Impression Roman building, representing loads of fantastic roman wonders.


4th Taj Mahal: The love palace. Beautiful building, but it actually look nicer in photos than reality.


3rd The Great Wall: No wonder that it is here with so many chinese people to vote. But in my mind is this long wall really impressive. If youg et away from the tourist crowd is it also really fun to walk.


2nd Petra: This place in Jordan is just magnificent. Amazing carvings in stone and beautiful nature makes this place something special


1st Macchu Picchu: Maybe not the most impressive when it comes to buildeing quality, but the feeling when you enter Macchu Picchu at sun rise is just extraordinary


Of course the ancient wonder the Pyriamids of Giza would deserved a spot here, but they wouldnt participate in the voting. Titten would ranked the Pyramids on 3rd.


There is not a hugh surprise that Tittens two favorites comes from the countries with smallest population. Titten also perosnally belive that the list would look different if some smaller countries like Cambodia had more people to vote for their impressive Angkor Wat City. For Titten does also the temples in Nepal deserve spot on this list.

Beirut By night- A fairytale


Titten didnt bring his cam out much, but th elife was good. Titten talked to some people, but it was not so easy to get in contact with all lebanese people (acted a little french).

Here the only nightlife picture he took, from a coctail bar with karoke. Who should belive Mr Rybak was still popular. They played the song twice. A fairytaleeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

In the bar next door did girls dance on the bar, wonder why Titten didnt use his cam there instead.

Beirut Finally some relaxing

Road to Beirut

Damascus

Titten ahd a great time in the friendly capital Damascus, that is also the oldest inhabited city in the world. See pictures below for a feeling of the city, that was surprisingly organized.













Syria- Titten's country 60th


Just 40th to go!!! Well celebrated for 2 days with nice Syrians after paying the welcome to Syria tax of 30th USD and gotten a double controlled inspection of his passport to look for stamps in the country not allowed to mention by words.

Well used Air Condition

All the 7 new wonders


Titten have now visited all the seven new world wonders and also the only excisting ancient wonder. Titten will soon make a ranking of all the wonders. So what was more natural to do than to celebrate the adventure with a falafel sandwitch at the 7 wonders Pizza

Petra- One of the new seven wonders

Petra One of the new 7 wonders of the world. Inhabited since prehistoric times, this Nabataean caravan-city, situated between the Red Sea and the Dead Sea, was an important crossroads between Arabia, Egypt and Syria-Phoenicia. Petra is half-built, half-carved into the rock, and is surrounded by mountains riddled with passages and gorges. It is one of the world's most famous archaeological sites, where ancient Eastern traditions blend with Hellenistic architecture.

A fantastic interesting and beautiful place. Sad it is too many tourists there, but what more there to except.
