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。% j! m% R6 Z* T" r
. p4 T. q9 r% L/ D+ n+ ?# x5 I3 {
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。
( }& v/ r( U! @1 W; ?, h  Q3 t8 R1 T0 F" W0 S: 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。" R) {0 O! ]" D- [/ a$ ]

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。

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。

  ?+ u0 b; K/ q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。0 M5 L  Q$ }  b+ C

+ S& Q, p  |4 Q  s! 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。
6 c# \5 C1 ^1 U2 |0 S6 J0 T0 w& v: N/ v
& M- v" ], M& v- e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。
