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。
# v0 \2 X7 E9 ~# F# `; G- ?1 R' M0 M4 L2 E' s3 }1 L1 _. 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。. S3 r! F: t/ f, q; k
; e  m$ {% n2 n
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。2 J# I  l& R* Z7 f$ C& [6 M% N

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。

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。4 h* ]7 Z! V3 ~3 r& @
5 J$ N( n* W1 _" Z( S$ f; Y7 j
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。3 g0 d6 a: r$ |$ S$ O& j5 c- u
' W; H2 j3 l+ B" q
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。
