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。
$ w  ], a+ e( i* @# _( c& g' x
2 f4 c3 D% o$ D  p. n# U! 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。/ n. F8 P( |9 p/ b/ }& o4 S' b5 i

8 D$ F8 q8 x0 u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。) R% R0 U- [+ v: R0 C# j  T1 h
4 g5 c( O4 w; t1 s
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。3 g% J4 w$ J& y

4 [& w* o+ s; p% |* `, R' 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。6 \1 c8 T; ^& `" C* A

9 p* W3 b+ x  ~. x& q, e4 @. ]# }* K" ?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。
' r9 o8 J$ T3 }
' c+ X0 l4 U1 T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。
0 a) e6 r7 R- x" O: i  b5 Y# `% ?; g' W3 W$ }1 |
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。
