I can almost guarantee
if you go there by yourself (which legally you can't live there, i think)
you will have a harder time there then you will here

just an opinion

Let's go easy on him. His questions are not out of line, and he hasn't been rude.

It's OK.

As far as I know it is 18. But in Japan it is much more common for people to live at home until they are married. That has changed a bit in recent years, but used to be the tradition.

Not unless he was living with a host family or in a school dormitory, no...

Two questions:

1. How does Japan suit your life better?

2. How do you know whatever you said in response to question 1 will actually suit your life better if you've never been to Japan?

I'm living in Japan right now - my daily life is not at all different from my daily life back in the US, aside from the fact that I speak Japanese instead of English and I eat different food. I still get up every morning, shower, drive to work, go to the bar, eat dinner and go to sleep - being in Japan doesn't change things that much. There are of course cultural differences, but once you've lived here for longer than a couple months, you become used to the cultural differences and they become not as "special" as they used to be.

He's 15. Let's not turn into a forum of dream-killers, please. If he was being rude, I wouldn't say anything, but there is nothing wrong with what he is asking, so let's all take a deep breath.
