Start from couple of week "Om Telolet Om" is becoming tranding topic world wide not only on twitter, facebook and youtube but also on instagram. I wrote about this phenomenon because of i got many messages from my foreign friends asking about that. and theeeeeeeeeen to tell about that it's better to explain here, i personally believe that more than ten people curious and have similiar quetions:

What is Om telolet om? who is om telolet om? where is Om telolet om come from?

It became viral after many popular Dj wrote status updates on their social media and also spamming below comments.

well what is "Om  telolet om" actually?

The words "Om" means uncle/sir that call in Bahasa Indonesia and telolet literally comes from the horn sound of bus. So, the phrase means to ask the bus driver who calls as om to honk the horn. The Phenomenon is already happend long time on the road where the interprovince buses thru. Near the road in Jepara, Indonesia standing and waiting kids with piece of paper for asking "Om Telolet Om! (Sir, honk the horn please!)". If their wish granted by the driver they would be glad and happy. In that small case what we can learn is that simple happiness. To get happiness is not from what we have and what we pay. 

and after this phenomenon the telolet hunter is getting more and more not only the kids but also for adults. Hunting and recording telolet are such ridiculus activity that makes happy. In short time telolet even inspires the Dj's to create remix music from the telolet sound. Check it out!

For the community of bus lover or as call as "Bus mania" this phenomenon is basic usual. There's also the competition of telolet. With the horn the driver could honk many songs that very unique. Here they are!
