United States President Barack Obama is supposedly set to arrive Tuesday in Indonesia where he's expected to meet with the Indonesian President, attend a state dinner, visit Isiqlal Mosque and give a speech. But what "they" won't tell you is that President Obama actually visited Indonesia earlier this year so that he could take in a few sights before the officialness of this vist commenced in full.

How do we know? Somehow the President accidentally sent all of his postcards to our office instead of to various family, friends and colleagues back home. A simple mistake or an intentional public relations campaign? We're not ones to judge. We just scanned the postcards and will let you decide.

Thanks to Derrick Chang and Oliver Robinson for providing photography.
