i've always been confused by the word 'hometown'. in Vietnamese, it means usually where your ancestors are from in Vietnam. coming from an immigrant family who's moved a few times around Ontario/Quebec in Canada, i always feel that i have to explain where i was born and where i grew up.. it's particularly confusing when Vietnamese people are asking me. depending on who i talk to, i give a different spiel of where all my grandparents are from. what does 'hometown' mean to you?
