The 7 wonders of the world

I ran into this article The Retezat National Park so i decided to see what it is about.

There is a competition going on at the moment organized by the 7 Wonders Foundation for the 7 wonders of the world. The competition has reached its 2nd phase. People are invited to vote their favourite in order for it to reach one of the 77 places reserved for the semifinal.
In order to give the vote to ur favourite(s) u need to give 7 - (nr of favourites) other votes. One can follow the live ranking here.
