The New Seven Wonders of the World is a big deal here in Jordan. Voting deadline is Saturday and the results will be broadcast live at 11:30 pm (Jordan time). An estimated 2 million of Jordan’s 5 million residents have already voted – and 60 million people have voted worldwide. The government’s goal was to get 4 million votes cast. There are billboards around town and kiosks set up for anyone who doesn’t have a cell phone or online access. A Miss Petra was just crowned and a motorcycle rally also promoted Jordan.
Petra is currently in the Top 10 along with the Acropolis, Chichen Itza, Eiffel Tower, Easter Island, Brazil’s statue of Christ the Redeemer, Great Wall, Machu Pichu and the Taj Mahal. The Statue of Liberty is in the bottom 10.
