--------------------
In some cultures the SURNAME (or family name) comes first. By underlining and capitalising your attempting to make it clear which name is the most important.
In America (USA) they don't use the term 'Poste Restante' they use the term 'general delivery'.

Do not address it to a major city. These usually have many post offices and you may have have to go to them all to find your parcel/letter. Instead post it to a smaller place .. a suburb or small village where there is a single post office. Saves a lot of parking, traffic and stress.
