Korea also, it's based on 'neighborhoods', which occasionally correspond to a block (though I'm inclined to believe the correspondence is completely coincidental). And yes, it can be quite confusing. Even more confusing because they're trying to switch to a street system so right now everybody has two addresses and they're both completely different... If only humans were better at remembering GPS coordinates, then the problem would be solved...
"What's your address?"
"37.537502 by 126.986991 apartment 305"
