Hi Blue,

I wasn't questioning that Borobudur was a wonder - just whether or not it was one of the seven.

They are comprising new categories/lists ..........I don't know them all, Borobudur or The Borobudur Temple didn't sound like one of the seven, but, with all that being said I read the link provided and see that it is, indeed, a wonder of the world, so thanks for the history lesson. lol

Canada's seven wonders has just been added recently in late May or early June I believe.

How about make this more than just a game.
Provide some information about these places to make it more educative.
When I was in The USA,
Of course, All American knew about the name of Vietnam but
not many students knew where this country is located.
Please spend a little of time doing it. I think it won't cause any interruption of this thread.
Example:
Genoa
is a city and a seaport in northern Italy, the capital of
the Province
of Genoa and of the region of Liguria. The city has
a population of ca. 620,000 and the urban area has a
population of ca. 890,000.
Genua was a city of the ancient Ligurians. Its name is probably
Ligurian, meaning "knee" (from Ancient Greek gony "knee"),
i.e. "angle", from its geographical position,
thus akin to the name of Geneva.

Aberdeen is Scotland's third largest city with a population
of over 250,000.
Nicknames include the Granite City and the Silver City with the
Golden Sands. During the mid-18th to mid-20th centuries, Aberdeen's
buildings incorporated locally quarried grey granite, whose
Tourmaline deposits sparkle like silver.The city has a long,
sandy coastline.
Since the discovery of North Sea oil in the 1970s, other nicknames
have been the Oil Capital of Europe or the Energy Capital of Europe

Oshawa (2006 population 141,590, CMA, 330 594) is a city in
Ontario, Canada, on the Lake Ontario shoreline, approximately 60 km
east of downtown Toronto. It is commonly viewed as the eastern anchor
of both the Greater Toronto Area and the Golden Horseshoe. It is not,
however, part of the Toronto CMA but has its own metropolitan area,
the fourteenth largest in Canada. It is the largest community in the
Regional Municipality of Durham. The name Oshawa originates from the
Ojibwa term aazhaway, meaning "crossing to the other side of a river
or lake" or just "(a)cross".

Indonesia, officially the Republic of Indonesia (Indonesian: Republik Indonesia), is a nation in Southeast Asia. Comprising 17,500 islands, it is the world's largest archipelagic state. With a population of over 200 million, it is the world's fourth most populous country and the most populous Muslim-majority nation, although officially it is not an Islamic state. Indonesia is a republic, with an elected parliament and president. The nation's capital city is Jakarta. The country shares land borders with Papua New Guinea, East Timor and Malaysia. Other neighboring countries include Singapore, the Philippines, Australia, and the Indian territory of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
The Indonesian archipelago has been an important trade region since at least the seventh century, when the Srivijaya Kingdom formed trade links with China. Indonesian history has been influenced by foreign powers drawn to its natural resources. Under Indian influence, Hindu and Buddhist kingdoms flourished from the early centuries CE. Muslim traders brought Islam, and European powers fought one another to monopolize trade in the Spice Islands of Maluku during the Age of Exploration. Following three and a half centuries of Dutch colonialism, Indonesia secured its independence after World War II. Indonesia's history has since been turbulent, with challenges posed by natural disasters, corruption, separatism, a democratization process, and periods of rapid economic change.
Across its many islands, Indonesia consists of distinct ethnic, linguistic, and religious groups. The Javanese are the politically dominant and largest ethnic group. As a unitary state and a nation, Indonesia has developed a shared identity defined by a national language, a majority Muslim population, and a history of colonialism and rebellion against it. Indonesia's national motto, "Bhinneka tunggal ika" ("Unity in Diversity" lit. "many, yet one"), articulates the diversity that shapes the country. However, sectarian tensions and separatism have led to violent confrontations that undermine regional stability. Despite its large population and densely populated regions, Indonesia has vast areas of wilderness that support the world's second highest level of biodiversity. The country is richly endowed with natural resources, yet poverty is a defining feature of contemporary Indonesia

and my factoid for Yeman is this:
Yeman is situated on the southern tip of the Arabian peninsula. It is often referred to as the mythical land of frankincense and myrrh, lying at the crossroads of the ancient Spice route, a land long shrouded in mysteries, home of the famous Queen of Sheba.

Ende,
Indonesia
Ende is the capital of the Ende Regency, East Nusa Tenggara province of Indonesia. Ende is located on the southern coast of Flores Island. With a population of 60,000 residents,[citation needed] it is the biggest city on the island.
Ende was the site of a kingdom that existed around the end of 18th century. The people of the area therefore known as Lio-Ende people. For many decades Ende has been a center of government, trade, education, and political activities.
Rebellion against the Dutch was led by a certain Nipa Do known as the the wars of Watu Api and Mari Longa (1916-1917). In 1934, the nationalist leader, Soekarno, who later became Indonesian first president was exiled to Ende by the Dutch colonial government.
The town Ende can be reached by aircraft from Denpasar, Bali.

Timor is a country in Southeast Asia. The small country is located about 400 miles (640 km) northwest of Darwin, Australia.
Colonized by Portugal in the sixteenth century, East Timor was known as Portuguese Timor for centuries. It was invaded and occupied by Indonesia in 1975 and declared the country's 27th province the following year. Following the 1999 UN-sponsored act of self-determination that year, Indonesia relinquished control of the territory and East Timor became the first new sovereign state of the twenty-first century and of the third millennium on May 20, 2002. Alongside the Philippines, East Timor is one of only two predominantly Roman Catholic countries in Asia.
At $800, East Timor has one of the lowest per capita GDP (Purchasing Power Parity adjusted) in the world. Its Human Development Index (HDI), however, corresponds to a medium degree of human development and places East Timor 142nd among the world's nations.

Good information.

Riau is one of the richest provinces in Indonesia. This province is rich with natural resources, particularly petroleum and natural gas, rubber, and **** oil.
The province was once heavily forested lowlands, but with **** oil plantations and logging being major industries it is losing around 2.000 square km of forest per year. In 2005 the forest cover was down to 33% (or 27.000 square km) from 78% (or 64.000 square km) in 1982.

YARMOUTH
Nova Scotia
Canada

History
The name Yarmouth first appeared as a projected township in Nova Scotia in 1759. There is some speculation it was named after Yarmouth, Massachusetts, as some of the earliest English settlers arrived from Cape Cod on 9 June 1761. It is more likely the Township was named after Lady Yarmouth, a mistress of King George II.
Originally the area was part of Lunenburg County. In 1761 it became part of Queens County; in 1784 part of Shelburne County and finally became a County on its own in 1836. The description of Yarmouth County was modified in 1846.
The largest town is Yarmouth which is one of three municipalities that comprise the County. The others are the District of the Municipality of Yarmouth and the District of the Municipality of Argyle. The latter was established as a separate district in 1856 from the Township of Argyle. The county also includes the Yarmouth Indian reserve.

Hangtown, California,now known as Placerville

Placerville was also known as "Hangtown" in its’ early days. Although many stories exist on how this name was acquired, the most famous story involved a colorful event that occurred in January of 1849. A gambler named Lopez gained a lot of attention for his big winnings at a local saloon. After he retired for the evening, several men tried to overpower him. Lopez fought back, and with the help of others, the robbers were captured. During their "flogging", three of the robbers were also accused of being wanted for a murder and robbery , and hung.

Terengganu's , Malaysia location by the South China Sea ensured that it was on trade routes since ancient times. The earliest written reports on the area that is now Terengganu were by Chinese merchants and seafarers in the early 6th century A.D. Like other Malay states, Terengganu practiced a Hindu–Buddhist culture combined with animist traditional beliefs for hundreds of years before the arrival of Islam.
