How to write a Gabonese address

Gabon is home to one of the world's only known natural nuclear fission reactors! That means that 2 billion years ago, natural uranium deposits in Oklo underwent nuclear fission, leaving ancient reactors that are still visible today! So, if you've got a friend living in one of Gabon's heavily urbanized towns or cities, you'll need to know how to write a Gabonese address so that you can mail them a radiation suit.

Below, we'll teach you how to write a Gabonese address (or an address for anywhere else in the world, if you'd like) to ensure that you use the right mail format. We've included several address examples specifically for the Gabon mailing address format so that you can compare your data against it. You'll also find a detailed breakdown of each line of the mail format to give you maximum opportunities to succeed in your mailing efforts.

  1. Addressee line – The recipient’s full name. Include any titles they may hold.
  2. Street name – The name of the street on its own line.
  3. The city - The city or town the address is in is alone on this line.
  4. Country – Don't forget the country, abbreviated to GAB.
