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。
: p3 \% r1 L' i+ w1 }" L6 V/ w# C" {/ `7 E
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。( }2 Y) ?0 R- ?1 I; ?7 s0 @) P

* o& ~4 c  y7 y$ j; _1 j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。+ D+ _2 Y4 U, p6 R9 P$ D6 N

& y( h+ w% |+ J: ~  s% g6 U2 d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 i/ D4 F1 K5 U- S  T1 _

) H/ N; u. X. l7 W% [: n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。
- p1 a1 @: Z( y" p3 X5 W' W: ~* P
: n; ~0 Q+ _9 P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。
. d: l  J, O+ z3 A$ q; [9 d0 Z: l+ E* z( x( e9 E( ]3 n& r
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。! N( z; C7 W2 f

# u, q% P( y; i! g; g5 X2 e( j& U' v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。
