Until I was in high school, I never know that Seven Wonders of the World are always changed every year. I mean, we used to memorize it in the elementary school, on the social science class: that The Sphinx and Pisa Tower and Borobudur and everything are an unchangeably Seven Wonders. They even ask about them in the test. So, it was kind of a general knowledge, just like, Rafflesia is the biggest flower in the world, and Yen is currency of Japan. It’s hardly to change.
But here I found that the Unesco committee actually always update this seven wonders thing. Which, if we thought it deeper, maybe fair. There are so many beautiful and unique places in the world, how come we can only appreciate seven of it? But still, it will make the student confuse then, the question on their quiz will might be like, ‘name the place of blahblah that became one of The Seven Wonders in 2000’, and the student could mistaken it with the one listed on 2001, or something like that.
Now the important thing is, who decide that? People from all over the world, indeed. At least, that’s the mechanism in this time. Only, the one who can vote is those who have access toward internet… After the committee select the nominee, then we, the citizen of the world, can give a voice. I don’t know about the old 7 wonders, how people vote, through letter?
However. Now I came to my point. On the voting about new 7 wonders, Indonesia nominate some of it’s places, and the one who last until now is Komodo National Park. An Island of Indonesia, where Komodo life.
Who never heard about Komodo? A living fossil of dinosaur, or you can call it as dragon, that only live in that Island?
Even Aiba Masaki –The funny guy from Arashi– have already seen them, the Komodo, on his Shimura Doubutsuen variety Show, right here in Indonesia (When he did funny things with the dragon.. Massaging them so they can get well from heat attack on the summer, and feed them..). Well, not in the Komodo Island but in Yogyakarta’s zoo, back then in 2006. But you get my point. And the people watching the movie was like, “oooh..!”.. Because they are so big and look powerful…
So, in the end, I’d like to encourage you to vote for Komodo National Park as one of the Seven Wonders in National Park category.. BEcause, only in this place you can see the living fossil. Not to mention that the Park itself is located in the beautiful Island of Indonesia. It’s a complete set..!
