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。% \; ]- O1 O+ K0 f/ |, K) x
5 b; K0 v- u: \$ a( N6 J: i0 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。& I! o0 B2 z0 I* d# O9 w: f* d) _

) A6 t* k& j4 e7 [$ R) u3 g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。- u# ~2 F$ O' d: W

( L7 m; h( J& Z5 f. `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 X+ O. G  l' c# i: }; m
! i& l# m* ?" U* _/ N: W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。$ h  X3 B$ d) ~6 d3 f$ j  }3 S3 g0 F
/ o; q8 E" D) y  Z/ B& Y
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。# R: R; Y5 g) P+ S6 c  f6 V

8 E$ n# ]8 ?0 o6 A* U7 h- B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( c3 m. q6 Y( a
) j) V+ e$ `5 t( F2 ?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。
