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。( [8 r# M3 f; b% ~2 B

8 A9 e0 n6 Q# P3 u! f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。
/ r3 Z" e% k% b4 _  u0 }  }+ E2 J7 [, a
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。" x! X" {  }3 }* S" f
) f8 O+ \: P/ E$ {  i
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。" l  K3 j6 e5 }4 `+ D

! h' A# l& `! r0 S4 z) t0 B/ v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。
# h3 r# {" I3 N" O/ h
/ g! t0 z6 d, p0 }/ ?+ _. P' 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。; F( o) q2 d. n# s' T/ j+ }4 ?: ?3 o
2 v7 b0 O& _- h$ G  G! 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。
, {( u  I& d5 i+ n3 [4 U9 ?
3 j" v/ _8 `$ }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。
