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。$ i8 P! `0 Q) O+ m- k$ a+ H" }

4 E5 E  f' ]  ?/ p. b7 @" v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 G( H: M9 x2 N9 X1 {6 Z9 s- H3 V5 Q# c4 z, V. u- }! q
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。- v! |2 @( f% y1 u" i' L

2 E! \, v, B3 K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。
5 _; {6 N$ v% U' ^- a: P  l! f% ?: ^- T3 C
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。3 j" Q4 Q% E- O- R2 s1 _+ g0 J& N

+ R. f, Q8 L. K5 r$ [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。
. \5 G2 \& V& q7 G
6 a" z2 c' g$ w* `+ f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。
, k2 N' b1 O& N1 w7 g: T  k" M% R* M. S; n  ?5 k' i; h5 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。
