The selection for the new 7 wonders of the world is now online. Too bad any of the Philippine structures were not included. I just casted my votes at new7wonders.com for the following:

Angkor Cambodia
Colosseum, Rome, Italy
Easter Island Statues, Chile
Kiyomizu Temple, Kyoto, Japan
Machu, Picchu, Peru
Neuschwanstein Castle, Schwangau, Germany
Stonehenge, UK

Among those I chose, the Stonehenge and the Easter Island Statues appeals to me most. I have read about these before and i'm really impressed with the structures. These are the real wonders. Here's the given description of it in the new7wonders.com:

Easter Island
Statues Discovered on Easter Sunday, 1722 by Dutch explorer Jakob Roggeveen, this collection of 25 meter-high stone sculptures still puzzles historians and archaeologists as to its origins. It is believed that a society of Polynesian origin settled here in the 4th century and established a unique tradition of monumental sculpture. Between the 10th and 16th centuries, they erected the enormous stone figures, known as the Moai, which have long fascinated the entire world and endowed this island with a mythical atmosphere.

Stonehenge
Construction of Stonehenge took place between ca. 3000 and 1600 B.C. With each stone weighing around 50 tons, it is regarded as a truly amazing feat of engineering. Although it is not clear who built the monument, nor for what purpose, it has been speculated that it was either a temple dedicated to the worship of ancient earth deities, an astronomical observatory or a sacred burial site.
