About this episode
The episode discusses the misconceptions about Japan and the host's personal journey of realizing his lack of understanding upon moving there.
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.
