And no, before others jump on me, i am not an India hater.

The others pretty much deserve it. The Statue of Christ the Redeemer is especially mesmerizing.
Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque - more so than a rather extravagant grave. But if you guys are interested I've been downloading this program: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Around_...n_80_Treasures lately and watching the eps. The presenter gets annoying at times, but otherwise the selection of places is awesome. Available at www.mvgroup.org .
