Once upon a time, there were seven wonders of the world. And then, history happened and most of them got destroyed. And because humanity is the kind that doesn't let go, a few years ago a large survey was run in order to determine what the "new seven wonders" were. And then a couple of other lists followed. Let's venture together to the one place that does appear in nearly all of them. Welcome to Petra.
Just a regular guy wandering the world, trying to show you it is not as messed up as it appears :)

Istanbul - The gateway to Asia - TOP 5 Tourist Attractions
Hello, citizens of Earth,
while there was a long period of the so called Dark Ages roaming in the West, the East had kept growing in its beauty, culture and glory for another thousand years, practically never knowing the Middle Ages as we know from Europe. Nothing represents the awing glory of the Eastern Roman Empire more than this pearl, its capital. Constantinople, built by the Roman emperor Constantine on the shore of the Bosphorus strait, right on the crossroads where Europe and Asia, and also the West and the East meet. Welcome to Istanbul.

Tel Aviv - Between the East and the West
Welcome to the city of contrasts. Some call it the LA of the Mediterranean for some it's a continuously inhabited ancient harbor taking on more or less western habits. Either way, the city of Tel Aviv is one of the most interesting cities in the Middle East and for most the main gateway to the State of Israel. Welcome to Tel Aviv - Yafo.

Angkor Wat - Angkor What??
You know it was coming to this. The highlight of my trip comes. I think you just simply cannot visit the South Eastern Asia without visiting this ancient ruined city. It is such a landmark of Cambodia that it even landed on its official coat of arms, flag and basically anything Cambodian. Welcome to Angkor Wat!
