I can 5 Languages: English, Spanish, Norwegian, Russian, French, learning Japanese now, so i need to say thanks to my parents. In Europe you have no problems if you are 13 and above (hotels, restaurants, discos, air travel, etc.) but you americans have a bit of advantage that i really am jealous: driving car from 16, drinking beer also, etc.! I really cant wait to visit USA, but i have been traveling to 26 countries, not bad ehh? Take care everybody and i hope you all have a really nice weekend, again take care
Wouldn't you be better off doing a student exchange? You spend two weeks with a US family and their kid spends two weeks with your family perhaps? I did three as a kid, two of which were a lot of fun.
And the age for alcohol consumption in the US is generally 21. Don't be fooled by what the movies portray, most middle class American kids are quite conservative in their behaviour.
