Plain and simple, If you want to go to Japan you better have a damn good reason, and know that there is no shortcut, there are people who bust their asses to honor Japanese culture, and this kid is just lusting after it like some kind of perv. You'd understand if it were your culture, but it's not so you don't.
You say that, but your not handing him your reality, you're punching it to his head. If he listen to you, someday he may look back and REGRET not taking the chance to learn more about Japan so that in the future when he's ready and capable, he can make the decision to move there and live his dream. I still fully support that dream, and you can call me stubborn, but I'm going to take a stand and encourage him to look into it more. Like I said, let him decide for himself. Don't force decision on him. Nobody has the right to do that.
