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。$ V. B8 e. S1 M7 o  I+ B1 o

3 {% L: r- @" o0 t0 X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。4 W- s. d5 k: l0 S6 B9 J8 h0 N
$ v/ Z  o% o: q4 O
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。

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。
! k  [& c, U: C$ D4 J- g* m( o& X- {# E; {
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。' [4 `7 h5 K  }" u, o* D6 C0 p7 p

5 L- b2 ], p' i9 @4 X% ~! 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。( t  B% k- p; }- p6 c3 M
7 D: R9 E- L* ]: K5 M
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。
* W+ C" c. F' x2 _$ Y$ Q; o1 J8 H  O( I* z' B- 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。
