Time Online has released a list of The 25 Wonders of the World. I am a little skeptical of visiting some of the locations on their list (the Salt flats of Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia) but I have to agree, most of the locations sound really interesting.

The article begins with the cynical statement, “What’s next…. Dollywood?”
