I want to introduce myself, and since this is the introduction topic, i think I'm in the right place! My name is Henry, 27 years old, and from the Netherlands. The first time i ever saw a tiki, i was intrigued by their ''personality'', it was on a marketplace near a rockabilly festival. Seeing the strange faces and masks carved out of wood and the unlimited ammount of mugs offcourse made me very anctious about the origin of them, (Are they really from outer space? or just an ancient art, blah blah :wink: ) I started out on the internet searching for them, and saw this forum passing by a couple of times. So I've been lurking here for not to long, been looking around on ebay, and started building my own little tiki-bar in my home, it's been a bit hard, 'cause there are not a lot of stores around here in Holland which sell stuff specifically in tropical theming Another reason i started building my own bar is that I've been visiting our one and only little Tiki-bar in The Hague, NL. It's called ''the Vavoom Tikiroom'', been there one night, and totally got hooked on the style and interior... And i don't like to drink and drive! So here's my story for now, i hope i can post some pictures in a few days of my own project, it's almost done, and i don't have any ''construction/work in progress'' pictures, 'cause i like to work efficient and fast paced, but if there are any questions, I'll try to answer them and make some sort of an explanation. See ya, Mahalo, Henry
