I was going to try and pick one piece that I liked better than the others and I couldn't do it. I love them all. You are great.

Salut Jérôme,
I register 2 years ago on tiki central but for some reason did not really post or comment anything. I came back to it recently and discover your post....Well, so nice to see so many good work, can not comment on anything in particular as everything is done with talent and good spirit.
Congratulations and keep up the good work.
One thing, I wanted to ask, where can I find any informations on tiki vibes apart from facebook....I know I could register but I am against it....
Take Care
Christophe
