I agree with my fellow tiki-philes on their preference for the darker and more mysterious tiki bar look. Plus, I think a central point in Sven's writing is tiki culture was a fantasy of American popular culture, not a serious attempt to re-create a specific island culture. Also, please refer to the back cover of Don Beach's menus. There is a lovely map of the Caribbean... where the RUM COMES FROM!
