There were also some empty space which look like future homes for tikis, including a new area by the big tiki who's... ahem... "tikihood" had been brutally chopped off long ago. I bought a couple things from the gift shop, and the wahine behind the register asked if I was coming back for Hukilau. They also had a nice poster on the door! -Mike

Aaargh! Why do they paint their tikis? It always looks silly when tikis are painted. Well, at least they got rid of the emasculated one.

Fortunately, they haven't painted clown faces on the tikis... well, a couple, but the majority of them are painted a dark brown color, perhaps similar to the original wood color.
