A Bamboolodge View of Aku Tiki.

The place looks like just another red sided barn like restureant in mid-America. But, just inside the fount door is this:

Ditch the coats, on to the next door:

Just by the bar, are the washrooms which have Witcos carveings of Warror and Wahine on the doors with a Witco Fountain between them. Real Cool
