Indonesia - Riau Islands - Bintan

I went to Batam island from Singapore by an express boat. Primary purpose was to send postcard. At Nagoya town, I finally found a Bintan island but no Batam postcard and a post office to mail out. Both Batam and Bintan are part of Riau islands. The stamps are circular with punch out figures of football players commemorating FIFA World Cup 2006 of Germany.
