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。
& e3 K6 y6 e/ y, z+ K7 K' q; L6 J* A6 C
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 c( G" L$ t2 W: H! O5 q. t
3 r, I9 C! v4 n& O
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。$ v" q7 |6 g3 t  h5 a

- w+ T3 @& s5 J2 u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。

" s4 t0 J2 H5 h; x+ y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。
