It is just not that intereesting to me, concept-wise. To note that there are Tiki torches in Hawaii is like saying "Oh, there are Hula dancers in Hawaii." I hope so, but after seeing how many Tikis there are at the Hawaiiana Hotel - possibly Waikiki's oldest, but how few there are at the Royal Hawaiian (just one) and none at the other hotels in Waikiki, I am not sure we can even take Tiki torches for granted. While they are in abundance in Waikiki, they are much less apparent on the other islands (certain hotel grounds notwithstanding).
