The Greg Forsberg Travel Blog.

I did not win the Best Travel Job Ever. Once I decided to move to Japan I stopped paying attention. I changed my focus to earning money and starting my blog.

I had a blog going, it talked about why I was moving and the motives behind it.

Now that it's gone, I claim it to be the lost literary masterpiece of our time. Why is it gone? A typo is what obliterated the magnum opus that will soon become my life's work.

This morsel was lost because I put in the wrong url. Look at the top of your screen, it should say something like GREGORYFORSBERG somewhere in the url. It took me two weeks to notice I had typed my own last name in as FORESBERG.

For those of you who listen to my ramblings in real life, and had the good fortune to be near me in the past two weeks, you will know that I have a very ambitious goal for this trip.

Obviously there's the photo a day, that won't be difficult for me. I intend to eat something that I have never eaten everyday for 80 days. I will catalogue, photograph, and describe these dangerous and delicious delectables to make you as giddy as Bryan Celery Linge.

The photo expedition: Like I said, a photo a day, but here is the hard part for me.

The computer I brought with me is a first generation eeepc, meaning it's 800mhz, half a gig of ram, and a whopping 4gb of hard drive space. On that hard drive I am running windows 7, which is normally a 12gb install. Do the math, it's stripped bare and still takes up 4 gigs. This means no memory, which means the photos from my camera are too high quality to be seen on it. This is where it gets fun, I can upload photos directly from my memory card. So from this point, every photo you see on this blog is raw, unedited Greg Forsberg photography.

The photo resting quiet like at the top of the page is a test photo. A Dr. Steven Green Lantern Goss and I got our doctorates in rocketry and worked with the famous cosmonaut Joey Fatone to produce the picture indicated. The events were directly preceeding my departure from the country, it is mere coincedence that the experiment failed. I am not, repeat not a fugitive.

Enjoy the test photo, and premiere of Greg Forsberg: Tokyo Drift.
