One of the enchanting things about this place is the number of names each road has.
They all have a number (not necessarily sequential), they have a formal name and then a local name. Only the formal names and numbers appear on the maps (never together - some maps have numbers and some have names) but the taxi drivers etc all know the roads by their local names so you need to get a handle on them to direct the taxi drivers! And the local and formal names can change from the south side of the road to the north.....
And of course, some places just have a longitude and lattitude.....which is definitely the easiest if you have SatNav in your 4x4!
