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。" D( o8 {. {! a1 ]5 Y* Y$ S: t
* H! {9 O' Y% Z/ N
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 @0 u9 T6 G, K+ y4 @" @! p  P( S& a7 ?  f
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。# Q) x: q$ G8 u- p! J+ M' U

! |1 j. Z; P1 Z4 z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。8 h* P8 S4 i- a6 @3 C

' i3 j2 y) a% f' c3 e) i: ~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。
; Z, Z5 \- H6 p) D! z. O! I. J% P5 l4 M/ a* E( X& h- ~; u# r
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。
