If you are willing to go out of the norm be willing also to face the consequences

I recently went out for lunch to KFC with a friend of mine, well this KFC visit was long overdue since they opened their shop in Nairobi there has been much pomp and hype about going there so although late, finally i marked my presence there. 

Our time there was great, it was lovely to catch up and find out how things have been for us. As for the lunch i enjoyed the spicy chicken but the fries which are like quite costly were not so nice, reason for the 'hiked' price is because they say the potatoes are imported! And i guess the store has the same standard across the various part of the world where they are located. 

While the model might sound good or is working in various parts of the world i think no one size fits all, in Kenya we have quite some nice and tasty fries from our local potato growers farmers and i would rather be eating fries from such shops anytime. So while i might go back to KFC it will just be for the chicken.

Back to the title, the spirit of adventure can bring our ways different and unexpected things as was my KFC adventure. Many times, the initial curiosity and the joy of doing something new, something different can really get to someone such that you overlook exactly what your getting yourself into, you fail to fully count the cost before beginning something and start counting the cost in the process and sometimes after investing quite a bit. Among the lessons of the season is, COUNT, COUNT and COUNT again the cost before adventuring!
