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 O% x: B9 M  L0 y
9 B( U3 B& L8 q, }: c& h4 @; F
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。4 s9 Z9 E/ U; N5 T

7 o9 S4 H7 e- q, M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。
; H! \2 T) q) l
! f$ o' ~+ I% E* ~, P7 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。
4 _+ G8 }7 z. `8 f
' ?0 l+ K9 Q- E  f2 x% M' S& 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。/ R( {1 Q! i# U. m4 L
' j4 j" u1 R, x8 d6 _
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。9 e& j* o7 `. W4 G% N: p' B/ {
) J, ~" C! g8 Q: c* V! e$ S$ D
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。
8 Q) ^- O! }5 _0 L4 D2 ^, ]  E. U/ v: v
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。
