## Resource

Let's talk about the stereotype trap and how I fell right in it. After watching a recent video by Exjapter (link below) who talked about exceptions to rules in Japan, I had a flashback of when I moved here for the first time. I thought I knew Japan and the Japanese people, but soon after getting here I realized that I didn't.
