- lb1lf 7y ago-My parents (living in rural Norway) once had a postcard delivered where the address given was simply their first names - no last name, no street, no town, no nothing. Having a database in which every citizen's domicile is registered does have its occasional advantages.

- mkasu 7y agoI live in Japan. I once had a package delivered from overseas where their printers couldn’t print CJK fonts and thus the whole address resulted in just small empty boxes. The post office inferred my address from the post code + my name and delivered it correctly. There wasn’t even a (noticeable) delay.
