This is interesting! The Middle East definitely lacks an adequate address system which makes my security clearance papers interesting sometimes (so where in Israel did you live? uh... the Judean Hills? idk just pick a hill, close enough).

I also went on a wild goose chase in a cab in Jordan trying to find a specific library. The cabbie claimed he knew where he was going by which he was pretty sure he could flag down randos that would tell him which way to go (they couldn't help him so we bailed in the middle of nowhere and cabbed back to the bus station).
