OM TELOLET OM! Young people in Indonesia display “om telolet om” posters asking for passing bus and truck drivers to toot their horns on the side of a road in
Solo, Central Java. The phrase got picked up online after videos of Indonesian youth went viral. International DJs have released mixes with om telolet om honks and so-
cial-media feeds have been spammed with om telolet om messages followed by bus icons. See story on page 13. (AP Photo)
