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。& G4 M( {" J2 d2 g

: W% v4 _  R) y5 v! e' E7 x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。2 \% d: N& B: i) T

- \4 d  j9 J6 K7 z. 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。
4 E* c& V' r. b; @0 m* y
$ z6 I, \! K9 T9 f  w8 O; 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。
9 e5 [1 {& N& I6 K6 \
( h. S) d8 ~  n9 O3 ~! h$ e/ q3 z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。8 }3 _3 u9 `% j* D- C8 r
4 n1 j% `! v/ m  x* u8 `
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 ?7 ]3 e& U  I: J- M- M  m8 |& b( c0 L8 G
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。7 _$ m3 m$ a$ B  q7 ?8 ^  F
3 d4 b. j& u4 {
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。
