Hi,
Address in Taiwan (probably also in China) is reverse order:
((State, ZipCode, City),
("$¶l¬F«H½c", POBox, "$¸¹"),
(Street, ExtendedAddress).
(Country))
Country is sort of weird in Taiwan
because people don't write it locally.
If it is international mail,
people usually add it in the end of address as western style
so that this mail can be send to the right country.
In this case, the country tend to be in English rather than Chinese.

Subject: Postal address layouts?
Date: Thu, 04 Sep 2003 20:08:02 +0100
Hi,
one more thing... I'm looking for postal address layouts for
different countries for the next release of Contacts.app. The problem
is that postal addresses are different for each country, so I
represent them in property lists looking something like this:
(("$Postfach", POBox),
(Street),
(ExtendedAddress),
(ZipCode, City),
(State),
(Country))
Each sub-array is a line as it would appear on a letter. Entries
starting with "$" are interpreted as literal strings, everything else
is a key into the data base. The proplist above contains all the
possible keys.
Please, could those who have a couple of free minutes hack something
like this together for their countries? I have German, US and
Romanian, and I need everything else.
Thanks a lot in advance,
--Björn
