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。+ k( Q5 c9 m, _6 P$ T, {; Z

- r+ L0 ~, T- g- ]! \1 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。
0 ]  {  U4 f. D. `2 i: D* R; ~8 j5 S& v7 b6 B1 }
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。

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 q, q5 Z; N+ \6 E3 [3 J

  R" I6 U: E8 f9 ]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。5 d* D. Y9 v8 p) Y+ I5 k

" \! s0 X9 \* ^2 H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 q; R/ I) R# c3 a, c
- [8 [( U; q6 q0 H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。
1 X+ o3 f8 q$ S
7 i6 y' T, F1 P# d1 h" F; d2 ~  f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。
