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。
3 t& M  n: I5 \, n; I8 Q9 }/ Y
, g8 H- y/ r* d+ j; @* @, `3 c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。
8 a3 N  r3 y+ B/ L3 X) G7 e! y* h; f1 B' u9 w7 m
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。
9 J1 J5 s8 k. k6 i, D7 Y' l3 K7 k
8 [, N& ^) ]5 L/ N$ h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。. h* X- T3 c' P2 A
+ v* a5 @" n: E9 J- D2 `  h
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。
5 s2 K9 b$ L3 }" [# i& v7 X" L0 o8 S5 z4 J3 U  `. i# f
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。4 u+ E) g/ x9 D. g, R4 l

4 T; a9 g# Y/ n! e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。
6 V6 ]6 O! l: L3 u( m( H* c+ y1 y: A9 f
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。
