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。4 D8 s6 }& C' c% x  e, I5 u

( {. U: @/ J2 [/ M. W3 ~' g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。
+ i* ^, a9 c! U/ s" X% k8 W/ S' h0 S
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。; O1 o8 U* W1 p$ u! H7 ~2 G

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。) [$ _1 M8 j, N) Z, q4 P

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。

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。- i7 u7 t8 E# k3 M( [

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。
