Ha ha, very funny, no one of those stalls that a farmer or a fruitgrower or such like sets up one the roadside to sell off some of their stuff to passing motorists. I saw a couple today, pinecones in one, horse poo in another!, I wasn't tempted.

Google says...

A Daily Obsession: Mt Kinabalu-Kundasang

"On the way up the mountain, you'll find little stalls with some jungle or home-grown produce. Sometimes nobody tends the stall and there's just an old tin for you to place whatever amount of money you feel you should pay although these days it's rare to find these stalls."



I'm more likely to find a portable toilet. nobody honest here.

Thanks Estate, can I presume that's accepted then?

I appear to have fallen into some sort of cross cultural void with my suggested challenge :

YBNT - an unmanned roadside stall (with an honesty box).

I guess maybe they don't happen so much in the States anymore, but please let's just give it a couple of days; might be time for some of us in the Southern Hemisphere to keep this going through your guys winter.

I know I can't complete my own challenge, but, if required I will whip out tomorrow evening and get some photos of honesty boxes around where I live. Who knows?, depending on how make money is in the boxes, it might even be a profitable trip (j/k).

You guys down under have always been encouraged to participate, but seldom do. Let's try to improve on that!

Nice pic splash, I promise though that I will never do the "sticky out tongue thing" if you ever make it to NZ. Not all of us are All Blacks.

Anywhoo, interesting aside. Was talking about this thread to my workmates today.

Apparently in Cromwell (about 50 km down the road from where I live) there is a fruit stall with an honesty EFT/POS machine.

Instructions on the wall, swipe your card and key in the amount.

I guess it makes sense, if everyone does eftpos transactions there is no cash to steal?

Is anyone south of the equator gonna try to get this one?

Get your peeps involved TK. I would think that the SB clan would be all over this thread!

Couple more days on this one. Let's get a new challenge for the weekend.
