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。% P; r0 q1 V- i( b+ Z

8 d9 f. z+ C% v  D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. a" y5 i  [; ~

4 ^. d" Y# n! S9 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。
5 O3 f9 @4 f! T" _$ _% P1 q. `! ]+ p' p
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 @  v- H6 f: d3 F2 n$ ^& b

/ f& g$ @  O2 t( m6 }3 M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。  d. z0 J8 p% u% u. o

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。, ^, j$ ~% C' S# n. D1 ~

* [+ T# S- ?2 x5 F) L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。
0 O: l) Q! _4 q2 t7 Q/ m) P1 V9 d9 g1 Z+ l. ^
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。
