This kid is special. He's a brilliant student, a visionary, and a risk taker. That's why he will probably get into any school that he wants. Its also why we'll hear about him again.
If I ever have a son, I hope that he's a lot like this kid. I also hope that the medication will exist to let me cope with his exploits.

Russ,
What did he gain?
Do we have any concept of his intelligence or academic performance?
He arrived in a country and barely got to see much, but he exposed himself fully to the risks.
He sounds like he is bipolar and having a manic episode.
Take a chance and move to China for a year, take a chance and put all your money into a company only you believe in, take a chance and join the French Foreign Legion even, but this hardly seems worth the risk.
