Mental Notes for Myself - Part I

1) When renting a car, regardless of country, before driving away check to see which side the gas tank is on.  This MAY prevent the inevitable embarrassment of pulling up to a pump, getting out, and then getting back in to go to the other side of the pump.  And this will always happen regardless of having the little gas pump icon on the gasoline meter.

2) "NZ" is pronounced "En Zed," not "En Zee."

3) When renting or acquiring a car in a country where one drives on the left side of the road, and you choose to go with a manual transmission, remember that the stick shift will be to your left, not to your right as you are used to.
