Zip..ping Along

Did you know that if you send a letter to a friend in Afghanistan, Belize, Columbia or Zimbabwe that there's no need to include a postal code? These countries and a few others don't utilize, what we in the US call, zip codes. I'm certainly not suggesting this is important or critical news for you to know -- it's simply interesting.

I wonder how mail gets delivered to the far flung reaches of these nations. I mean, what if there are two villages with the same or similar names? Wouldn't that be confusing? I would think so, but maybe not.
