Part of my family in Sweden still uses the names of their houses to this day; and it works.

I kinda like that. But it really doesn't scale.

Not sure I agree it doesn’t scale. In Sweden surely everyone has a phone, which could direct you. In India I just ask people, in particular a postman.

In japan asking people has been less successful. :-(
