Everything stays the same, even if you're left-handed. By the way, being left-handed is sometimes considered an advantage because in kendo you predominantly use your left arm and leg.
The rules are no problem. They are very important, I think, to assume the right mindset of respect and consideration. Try kendo if you haven't, it's a lot of fun in the end.
The feeling when you get in a men strike on your sempai...incredible. Haha, I remembered when I did a succesfull harai on my sempai. I stood froozen for like 2 seconds and was like "Holy crap, I succeded with my harai...what do I do know...."
i agree it's a way of life fitness and helps with your personally self BUT a bit of fun is not bad :)

You are right, "Kendo's Grueling Challenge" video is very inspiring. It gives many lessons that we, westerners should learn from.

Not to mention the stance is basically a southpaw fighting stance.

I intend to use a left hand over right hand grip when I practice kendo.

I've practice kendo for a while and as a lefthanded myself, haven't encounter any advantage or disadvantage at all.

It depends on what you understand as "fun". I said fun, maybe "rewarding" is a better word.

Kendo is the very definition of fun! :D
