About Winnipeg

曾经想搬去那里,并且专程跑了一趟,那是前年春天的事情。
$ R* {4 a; f! H2 b- t+ D, P( C0 F) E0 p  \2 O4 ~
住在一家移民接待站,房东打政府工,1200尺的平房,大学附近,前进双车库,大概只有28万。这样的房子,在我们这里得50-60万了吧。2 r( b5 S* C4 ]& h9 a  {
6 M" @/ |: N6 j9 N6 z3 R  y8 n
聊起来,说是春天会发洪水。 Red River从南往北流,好像是美国的一个什么地方,到了春天,雪水就从山上流下来,并夹杂着大冰块,经常堵塞河道。这就是第一句话的由来了。不过,据房东说,市政府另修了一条疏洪渠,应该可以解决洪水泛滥的问题。当时,听到河水是由南往北,由美国往加拿大流,就觉得怪怪的。总觉得水应该是由东往西,由北往南流。; L( n  \8 K9 D$ d6 p3 I

4 P! U, w& d: ~/ {至于冬天,没有在那里呆过,只是听人家说起过。好像,温尼泊的冬天,确实厉害。1 A3 ?, R! [  x

* N! i3 z. A- {; `6 p如果看地图,温尼泊在加拿大的中间,所以,做加东还是加西,由你选。
8 u" S0 q6 _/ O: u) ~7 ?0 k7 f$ G8 i, I
看房价的话,加拿大从东到西,几个大中城市里面,就她的房价,还比较低了。
' L8 A7 e8 R& a4 S
! G* \4 f+ E; u9 E4 Z8 W6 `爱民顿、卡而加利,到今年的萨斯卡通、瑞嘉纳,轮番上涨的时候,后面都有一个跟着上涨凑热闹的尾巴,那就是温尼泊了。/ `& h* p/ b$ e$ |

5 m- D! Q0 t: B曾经主张新移民去温尼泊,就是觉得那里的房子还负担的起。等那里的房价也炒上去,整个加拿大,就没有适合新移民落脚的地方了。
