That really isn't addressing as you described. Do you mean "order of precedence" ? In the US a address is written as: Name Street Address City, State, Zip Code (zip code) For example: 123 Main Street Beverly Hills, California 90210 in Japan it is written as postal code prefecture (like a state), city, city area, and numbers designating what part of the city area, house number and or apartment numbers person's name If written in English, it can follow the American style of Name address numbers + area City, prefecture postal code Though there is no real "formal" way to do it if written in English. If you mean "order of precedence" like in America (vs addressing) It would be Prefecture, City (or town, village), then city area/ward area. USA is very similar, for example. New York State, New York City, Manhattan (or bronx or queens etc) when it comes to order of precedence. You go from largest to smallest in order of precedence.

The Japanese addressing system works pretty much in the opposite way the western system does. It starts with the largest entity : prefectures. If I was to find a western equivalent, these are basically states, provinces or departments (depending on where you are currently located). There are 47 of these in Japan. The second part of the address is the municipality. For big cities, the city name is the municipality. Otherwise, a district and town or village name are also included in the address. Next, we have the ward, followed by the city district, the block, and finally the house number. On a more micro level, the block and house numbers are not attributed in a sequential manner, like in the west. Your block receives the number 1 if it was the first block built in that city district, and so on. It's the same thing for house numbers; if your house is the 5th to get built on that block, your house number will be 5 regardless of it's physical location on the block. So, to recap: 1. Prefecture 2. Municipality (for big cities) OR Municipality, District and Town/Village name. 3. Ward 4. City District 5. Block 6. House number Hope that helps! ------------ Interested in getting a first hand review of a trip to Australia? Might make you want to visit some day! http://joeinaus.blogspot.com/ (house number)

Can television bought in Japan work in India

Can television bought in Japan work in India?
I recently bought a television from Japan, when I played it in India the picture keeps flickering. Even when I play movies using with the DVD player I bought from Japan same thing happens. I using an adapter to convert the current from 220v - 100v Can someone tell me what might be the problem? Its more like a constant flickering where I cannot see the picture properly. Its more like running picture but the sound is fine. The same happens when I watch DVD movies using my DVD player and disc bought in Japan.

I'm surprised that it works at all, considering that Japan uses NTSC-M, and India uses PAL-B. Besides being different color encoding standards, the horizontal scan rates and vertical refresh rates are also different. Be that as it may, you say it's working but you're bothered by a flickering. Since Japan's vertical refresh rate is 60 fields per second, and India's electrical frequency is 50 cycles per second, you're probably seeing the difference frequency between your TV display and the lights in your room. While 60 times a second is pretty fast, and even the slower 50 times a second is still okay, you're seeing a difference frequency of 10 times a second, and THAT is noticeable. Like watching an old cowboy movie where the stagecoach spokes appear to be spinning backward. The spiinning spokes are one frequency, but the film frame rate are a different frequency, so a difference is created that looks out of sync. If you turn off ALL lights, you should see the flicker substantially reduced. Edit: THAT sounds more likely. The TV cannot lock up to the video because it's playing at a different rate than the TV If that's the case, it probably looks like jagged slanted lines, maybe with color flickering in and out. It has nothing to do with power or adapters, but the different TV standards used in the two countries. You have an NTSC TV, which doesn't work with local PAL broadcasters. Even with an NTSC DVD player, you're buying local PAL DVD's which are incompatible. If you can buy NTSC DVD's, you should be able to watch them, but then you'll see the flickering that I described previously, like the old-time movie flickering.
