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。
" P! Q  ^; t" v* a. c' \1 A, J. O8 A/ x
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。
6 p& z* O8 a  p7 O! D4 s+ b( L. U6 W/ }! Y7 y# w) j! o
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。
* P6 r/ `* |! ]5 Q  V% j8 E, N7 N, ~+ u) x% e
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。2 W0 `! B( `; P! Q

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。, u" R; I# u  A$ K

4 K4 ]1 u  X9 y- e2 D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。
2 q  U0 L0 B  B0 [9 o  U$ G1 Z0 s% C- C6 O% F1 G+ l
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! i9 K4 f& j7 Q# ~  Y
. q! W, S, `) s! @
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。
