They are not hip to all things (or anything) Tiki. This is just their traditional use of bamboo for their bars, which is cool on it’s own and I thought it might give some folks some ideas. Meanwhile I had the book of Tiki with me and showed it to the owners of my favorite bar in White Beach and they thought the stuff was very cool. They had never seen Tikis or that kind of decor, nor did they have any knowledge of the ex-pat Philippino community’s connection to that cocktail era. I sent them 5 Tiki masks before I went stateside to dress up their bar. [ Edited by: Rattiki on 2003-10-27 19:56 ]
