So what happens if building 3 on a block gets torn down. Does the replacement become No. 3?

How ironic. Everything that happens to Americans (pearl harbor, 9/11), you get hurt in your ego. You become the greatest victims in all history and everyone is a terrorist. but if you do something similar or worse even, its okay. Throwing the nuclear bomb on Japan for instance.
I wonder what would happen if 9/11 was a nuclear attack.

Writing your address in Japan is also unbelievably logical. It goes from the largest thing (your 'ken', or state) to the smallest thing (your name). The zip code is written across the top of the envelope, or on top of everything. So you write: (ZIP CODE), Ken (state), City, Ward (neighborhood), Chome (district of ward) - Block - Building number, Apartment building name, Apartment number, Your name. Your address zooms in on you from an all-Japan view!

i think i like japan's system is beter, it looks easy to understand, while i get all confused when i look at a bunch streets

@RealityGameWorld i don't think its that hard of a system to follow. Just getting the writing down would be the most difficult I think. I think we have a harder time here in the US because some blocks can border multiple streets and therefore sometimes its hard to tell which street a building is on or the address is on.
