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。8 _1 Y; _9 ]$ f: y9 ]; t  b- A
$ H2 |" Y; T( T' n1 M4 D) P
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。8 v3 e0 Q4 z! M1 J% \- S

# e: s2 O6 D* ^. J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。
6 S$ J" P* j' w- I# ~4 y4 S& G- E# g
/ [. Z8 [, e) A& Z9 `8 t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。4 e1 t9 n; e7 Q

- z& X5 k+ Z2 {  c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。
( r8 C$ t9 M9 E. w( d" H3 N2 x& T+ R# Z  [( B: c. {2 [
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。" ^# v9 D) g! Y8 S+ ^% m0 M

* n7 {9 j: @2 }" f" t) q" @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。
/ {6 k* W9 {' ^' {- b& \7 @" k* t. T
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。
