Was in New Zealand

I was in New Zeland with two other friends, in my own car (black).  Friend number one was going one direction, so friend two and I wanted out of the car.  We both had to get our stuff and go to the hotel, which wasn't that far from where we were.  I was concerned and remember thinking "This is New Zealand, I don't know how they would react to us being on the side of the road."
