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。
4 `8 ~  [/ f1 y7 e& ~' D) M( m+ O8 k- `& ^
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。3 J3 U: N) _) [& w" B

6 [3 H. U- Z; Y& k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。- K* a/ T+ V7 O

1 {8 D& C& k+ h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。
2 _3 b3 @0 E" v4 V. g) t; V8 T/ \) x/ p; O  T7 x4 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。1 K: n0 z& M( H9 z6 G4 V

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。

* N" q, O+ r# s4 X  d6 Z6 S' A. T  y0 ]( o9 i9 S4 p
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。
