Although the Polynesian Pop we celebrate here on TC is mostly the mainland version of Tiki, I think it's absolutely necessary to pick up an IMP Tiki when in Waikiki....why ? just because you were actually there to get it, and it's so cool to bring back a tiki from Hawaii. Glad I got it there then! When I was in Hawaii I wasn't into Polynesian Pop or any of the stuff I'm into now but walking throught the IMP, even not knowing it's history back then, getting the tiki seemed like the thing to do.
