I have been a collector just about my entire life.

Looking back at all the different types of collecting I have done, nothing strikes me as having learned so much about so many different subjects than being involved in collecting tiki.

Not realizing what an impact of learning being involved in “tiki” would have on me 5 short years ago, I can say without a doubt I am much smarter as a result.

I have learned (without much concerted effort on my part) so much more about the following:

Archeology

Geography

Culture

Customs

Art

Literature

History

Interior Decorating

Design

Food and Cocktails

Music

Language

Construction

Improved Social Skills (well, maybe)?

This probably just barely scratches the surface, but I feel as an end result, I am much more educated in the areas listed above than I ever was five years ago, or ever would have been before I became involved in tiki.

Are you smarter because of tiki?
