Thankfully, he's a bad speller.
Ha ha.... weird...
I just love the old tuk tuks! In Thailand they are replacing them for new ones and they are not half as funny... I've never visited Mumbai but in northern cities I took these every day! :-)
hmm... could somehow he mean tips? It would make sense in context -- if not in word choice. I love tuk tuks, too. I recently took a ride in one in Mysore driven by "the mysore tiger" as he called himself. It was the scariest, but most fun ride I ever had.
Greetings from Istanbul, thanks for visiting my blog:)
@ b. squared - possible, but i should have asked him about it, im sure there would be some interesting story behind this
@ yogesh - indeed!
@ JM - they are a part of daily life here, can't do without 'em
@ kat - perhaps, but i have my doubts
@ oya - likewise :)
It's as confusing as love. Super find.
maybe im wrong but it says "more love give sperm?"
