Are any of the Polynesian Islands controlled by Japan? My geography skills are pretty scant, so this may seem like a lame question. I've created a new drink with an asian twist, and I want to give it a proper tiki name. The recipe will come as soon as I give it a good name, and I finish the testing stage. Hic! Hic! Burp. This reminds me, will there be another Tiki Central Drink Contest? |

No way! The Japanise controlled the Marshalls and other areas in the tropical Pacific before WW-II, but as you remember they were bombed into unconditional surrender Aug 8 & 10 1945. The only thing even close that they own now is Okinawa which we returned back to them a while back and it is only semitropical and similar in culture to Japan. Maybe you could call it the Saipan which is a US teritory island in the tropical Pacific with an Asian sounding name. :wink: |

No, but they still fished them to death. See "The Happy Isles of Oceana" - Paul Theroux. Trader Woody |

why don't you call it the "Captain Tsuruhiko Kuroda" or the "Lee Marvin?" :) |

Would you consider the Singapore Sling a tiki drink? If so (or not so), then why? |
