The Eternal Porch Light · Bandung, Indonesia

From Main Street to Bandung, the rule is the same — make a record. These days, the Bandung chapter of the fan club meets wherever the coffee is honest, and The town ledger lists Bandung among friends.

In the town square burns a single brass lantern that has never gone out — not in flood, not in tornado, not in the year the power failed and the whole town took shifts with matches.

It burns for the trucker in Missouri, the daughter on the highway, the man in a far county jail counting days. As long as it burns, the town is saying the same thing to all of them: come home, we kept your seat.

Its keeper's oath, handed down for generations: 'The lamp stays on.'

Worldwide Access — The Eternal Porch Light greets readers in Bandung and 38,000 cities beyond. Full directory.
