Have you ever dreamed of earning a full time income while traveling? If so, I have the perfect product for you.
With the purchase of a Bemo Starter Kit, you will be on the road driving around Indonesia, seeing beautiful countryside and meeting friendly locals, all the while earning ca$h. What is a bemo, you might ask? A bemo is a mini-bus in Indonesia used for transportation within a city or across an island. But not just any mini-bus will do. A bemo must be decked out properly to be operational.
With the bemo starter kit, you get the following items:
For the Windshield
- 15 stuffed animals with suction cups to affix to the windshield
- 20 decorative convex mirrors
- Black window tinting for the top 1/3 and bottom 1/3 of the wind screen.
For the Exterior
- 55 cans of spray paint in assorted colors to decorate your mini-bus
- Windshield wiper accessories
- 25 Random decals and stickers
- 2 giant antennas
For the Interior
- 8 huge speakers capable of producing 150 decibels of bass
- MP3 player filled with dangdut (see footnote), American pop, Celine Dion and the most offensive 80’s American rap music ever created
- Spray paint for the steering wheel
- Assorted stuffed animals to hang throughout the bus
- More stickers!
For the Roof
- 3 Giant blue tarps
- 100 meters of nylon rope to lash down goats, sacks of rice, baskets of fruit, sofas, chairs, tires, beds, mattresses, children, boxes, crates, and backpacks of foreigners.
And if you act now, we will include 2 cartoons of cigarettes that should last the driver the first hour of the maiden voyage!
But wait, this isn’t all you get. Included in this offer are a case of plastic sick bags for your Indonesian passengers who get ill anytime they are on a bus!
You get all this for the low price of 12,999,999 Rupiah!
But wait again, if you call within the next hour, we will include our Deluxe Overnight Bus package FREE OF CHARGE! The Deluxe overnight bus package includes:
- 44 Charmmy Kitty blankets
- 100 stuffed animals for windshield
- 6 hours of the most obnoxious karaoke videos we could find on the internet!

So, do I have any takers?

Ha! Now that is one original post! You had me at “bemo.” If I purchase a kit, can I exchange the lout for a singer like that?
Yes, you can pay for the dangdut singer upgrade package for 10,000,000 rupiah.
So, that’s like three US dollars these days, right? I’ll take two.
All right, I’ll send the package in the mail.
What a deal!!! And here I thought all of those make money things were scams. If I order within the next ten minutes, can you double my offer if I pay separate S&H?
Unfortunately, I can not double the order. But I will throw in a case of sick bags and 50 more stuffed animals!
Sold!
GREAT! You get a 10,000 rupiah discount for being the first customer!
This must be the most practical tour bus/ mode of transportation. Keeping the kiddo’s strapped down to the roof with the goats, now thats innovation. Haha!
Now how do I get one of these in the US.

Send me your credit card information and add 20% for S&H and I’ll get you one soon!
You are hilarious. I think best of all the goat peeking over the top. Still laughing out loud Jeff.
The goat was a surprise. We had been keeping our bags inside due to the daily afternoon downpour, but on this sunny day as we went to toss our bags on top the goat looked over at us.
I have about 3000 words coming up devoted to our trip across Flores by bus. 25 hours of riding in those things!
Funny. It would be interesting to see different cultures would decorate. What Alaskans do?
Most of the tour bus companies are quite corporate up here, but since most buses look alike, a lot of the drivers put stuffed animal bears or moose in the dash or wear bear or moose hats so their
sheeptourists can find them at stops.Sheep tourists – that had me laughing out loud!
I am in! 😀 😀
EXCELLENT! Send me your money and I’ll get your kit in the mail.
1. This made laugh. Alot.
2. Those buses make south american buses look positively boring.
3. Did you take advantage of the in-bus billiards table? If not, then WHY THE HELL NOT?
4. I’m ready to go into business with you. How about it? 2016? You, Kristi, and me?
1. Good and thanks.
2. Yes they do.
3. Of course! I was totally schooling the locals
4. Lets do it! We just need a vehicle and a lout!
LOL – this is too funny!! Thank you for the inspiration 😀 Great photos too 😉 A goat on car roof!!
Yes, the goat on the roof was unique.
