Similarly, there was a story going round a few years back about mail being delivered in Iceland where instead of an address there was a map to the house to be delivered: http://i.imgur.com/1GVjLKF.jpg
I 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.
