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。
' ?8 d! T* o  [2 a$ Q, }5 \% ?# \5 n/ H) x& @2 ]" r2 |
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。! m# N4 Y! G. ]0 K

" X5 b' e: j( W+ a5 H1 ~. B. L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。3 [+ N2 X6 I! \
* F, q5 [5 v+ ?& d8 N. s' |2 U1 Z
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* B  C% K# ?8 f% T5 h) s4 S" R: K  B/ y/ n) Z' C! q7 n- Z: R$ f; W
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。
2 D8 E9 w& a! |6 d. f1 ~* ?% C$ P6 z- o5 C/ p$ H3 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。
; t( v4 e  A2 k- R4 ]: ~% I* Y2 Q4 E) Q3 H: \4 i+ o6 o. d  ?- `
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。
& }+ @2 R' X' h; v7 A) [! j
- A5 `& V; W# W1 g  g6 k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。
