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。
  d' t4 o5 j3 Q( c% [/ D, ~$ C- X0 ~: e) E" h6 C" K
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。% y  W- _" ]) q* K. b
/ c- o- E4 D. w6 H3 b
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。6 ]( f9 v5 }5 l& g! V0 b, I1 T

6 c( m4 f( r+ T4 a) F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。

+ q1 U9 G7 G. U% j# V; f8 h0 }1 p" B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。, `! B' Y& o( d! ^

* X. u: h9 x% y  d2 Q+ T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。3 W7 x6 k# n% C( C9 E. T+ V7 L
5 P3 K; s. |( B& c) ^$ X# j2 K+ A5 }
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。
