f.a.q

here are some questions that some people have been asking me lately so i thought i would put my answers down here. any other questions?

why are you going to montevideo, uruguay?

my dad's family is from there. i was born there but my parents and i emigrated to montreal when i was 5. i haven't been there since 1999 and february is a great time to go. it's summer!

am i excited?

i am. but being around family all the time will probably get on my nerves after a while.

what am i bringing?

just a small suitcase with a week's worth of clothing that i can wash. i might have to buy another small suitcase while i'm there if i plan to do some shopping. i'm also bringing my video and still cameras.

how many times have i been back?

once in 1985, 1988 and nye 1998-1999

what's your nationality?

armenian. i've never been to armenia.

do you feel like montevideo is home?

i don't feel connected to the culture because i was so young when i left and can't remember it very well but i feel connected in different ways.

would you move back?

i would move back if i had to for a while. maybe i'll retire there!
