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。
* z4 f. M; Z8 x& U. m7 j- ^# z7 c! g) `" {
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。, W& T' B# E  v% n" N' g- z

; F4 o" f& z5 P/ w7 D2 Q$ c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。; P1 ]. t6 \+ p0 I( d

% g. [) f1 ~- c1 F+ x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。' Z  `6 [8 `) R2 S  F; H
! a" @6 e" \& j  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。
7 C( J5 k# u1 y5 O" U! Q
% j# R8 O9 v- G4 K2 e3 p; `3 H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。
- p; D1 l% [7 F% u% d. ?
4 X3 N3 y# x# ^/ u* ]  D/ \4 C* {& n* x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。. p& ]9 U& G2 O6 A0 `$ D2 ]' V

, H' R8 E. Q( }0 B" f- h6 p5 U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。
