In the frost-bitten land of Sweden Tiki-philes have a hard existence. In ten years of high frequent thrift store and flea market shopping I have so far found 3 tiki-mugs. Recently I travelled to California, the heartland of this culture, and came home with mugs, exotica vinyl, fond memories of Bali Hai, Hanalei Hotels Island restaurant, Tiki-ti etc, all in all a much needed refill of Polynesian pop mana. When I came home I remodeled my room from "Shanghai 30s opium den" to "Shanghai 30s opium pad of a pacific ocean sailor" (to carefully blend in more tikiness in the theme) and also decided to join this community. The user name is a sailor/adventurer from a song cycle of Swedish pre-exotica bard Evert Taube. If anyone lives in San Diego, check out Kobey's swap meet. I had to leave a absolutely beautifully carved Maori club there (it was to expensive at around 250USD) Nice to be on the inside, Fritiof
