You've got what, 6 years before you can go over there?
You'll be able to bear a staple food like rice before you go over unless you're a spoilt little rich kid.

By the way, are you sure you've actually had Japanese rice before? Japanese sticky rice is a lot different than just plain, white rice that is served in Western countries. It has a sweeter taste to it, and I like it a lot more than white, long-grain rice.

Short grain is indeed what's used sushi, but there is actually a difference between short grain rices. One of them is called 'japonica', and as made obvious by its name, is the traditional rice used in Japan. You would use this rice in sushi, although sushi rice also contains salt, vinegar and some other ingredients mixed in with the rice to give it a little bit of flavor.

Here's a recipe on how to prepare sushi rice if you have japonica rice available -> Japanese Recipe - Sushi Rice - sushi recipe

There are many shops/grocery stores in bigger US/European cities that sell this kind of rice, if you look around. You can find nori (seaweed) at various asian grocery stores in bigger cities as well.

Yup your taste changes, but fact remains: if you never eat anything as a kid there's a big chance that you'll remain stuck with the few things you do like..

(Did you shoot the bear yourself before you drank it ? j/k)

The oppostite happens to me =/ I used to like all kind of food when I was little and now I dislike half of my old favorite dishes. I think my trip to Kenya was traumatic, I shouldn't have eaten giraffe meat when I was there.
