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。
  t( @% @2 w& r0 m7 U3 l& P+ a& v$ P* o3 @: v1 V
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。
6 {; b6 b) }) J3 v
: U- X2 L, Y! l5 N  Q) ?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。: F- f, M, A9 H9 l$ E! K

+ ~0 v+ K: w( W& I. t5 R$ F; B4 d- Y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 K* T  q0 a9 J$ }% A- R

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 P! p0 _1 k  S  s; h+ w
2 T* k: |/ q& G  D7 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。' ]$ q6 w! C  s; P
! ~8 h7 d* X2 M6 i1 n, E# o7 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。
# ^: D& [; ]/ |* F: G5 [  i! i# o; \: t- f* z  [/ o
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。
