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。/ {0 L. V# Z* Q2 q

+ t# Y7 s/ `; s6 `+ L; a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。
% G  ^) L. k+ N& v9 u3 a8 r- E; ]) v, K8 f, X/ i# ^
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。6 ^  P. l# W3 m4 R* ~: h" H3 D

! Z* \# C' y7 y" i9 ^; l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。  P; a+ V: W( N" ^! ]
4 d/ [1 e: i- J+ s. t
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。& }# v7 D' }) ^) c

( X4 m5 p  g$ ]5 j% G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。
( _& ?/ f4 \  X$ o1 x* n3 Z+ Y4 l- \) S8 X8 j& J
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。
; i. o+ L) |$ K9 l
) {1 H7 [. C  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。
