This is still awkward for Chinese addresses. In bbdb2 it was so awkward to put address in the address field that I have to put them in the notes field. This is because we tend to use one line for the address and it is specified from country/state to street/room number, for example, 香港九龍 觀塘興業街14號永興大廈6樓C1C室.
