I would admit that it was all because of the special beach wedding of my cousin which happened at nice beach town in Dominican Republic and there one of the decorations was those beautiful bamboo tiki torches.
In the fading sunlight those things were just amazing. Nothing too modern and nothing too odd to be seen in the beach in the twilight. I just loved those and asked the wedding decorator there for what are these and he answered tiki torches.
From that time and then I have done all sorts of research on these beautiful tiki things and have been working really hard at setting up a good tiki bar in my backyard replete with all the things like tiki stools to tiki mugs and that much needed ambience with the tiki torches. More on that later and a whole world of tiki torches.
I will also explain about how to set up a tiki bar as there have been several things that have actually been distasteful especially when people online have been out there to cheat with all sorts tiki bar kits at exorbitant prices.
Tiki totems are those beautiful hand made masks that look so lovely in a tiki bar as well as in your living room as independent decorations.
Tikiwiki is another thing which I got to know and that was very surprising as this is nothing but a content management system/groupware. But it is often heard if you are in the internet world looking for software online.
Tiki Barber is another great football player and now broadcaster.
So I started this blog to write everything and anything about tiki torches and tiki culture.
For all my readers who are reading this and want to know what is Tiki then simply said and I am republishing that from Wikipedia is “ large wood and stone carvings from the Central Eastern Polynesian culture.
Tiki means the first man in the Maori culture and in Hawaiian culture also there is reference of Tiki.
Tiki is very popular
I frankly was not aware about tiki being so popular and that there are tiki bars to tiki lifestyle magazine to dedicated tiki fan clubs in the world. In fact in Hawaii there are hotels dedicated to the tiki culture and the whole culture experience in a tiki environment.
I have never been to Disney but now definitely I know that there is an attraction by the name Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room and also a song which is played there which is “The Tiki Tiki Tiki Room” by Sherman Brothers.
Tiki Bar TV
I am definitely not a music fan but yes there is that famous tiki Bar TV which was shown on the launch of the
Tiki culture has influenced all of us so much that tiki coloring pages to tiki clip art are fairly good demand if you see the online websites which dish out all these.
Tiki statues to tiki masks to tiki signs all need to be carved and hence I learnt a bit of carving myself but then I will admit that I bought quite a few so that the place looks beautiful and not ugly with my self done tiki masks.
Of course the free spirit of Hawaii flows everywhere and that includes the Hawaiian tiki as well as Big Kahuna tiki.
Keep coming back for more on the tiki culture and the tiki torches.
