Literally "Gor'ko" means "bitter". It's wedding-party chant urging newly-weds to kiss. "Gor'ko" may be translated in English "now to kiss".

A groom and bride shaped like 8 that symbolize infinity.

NOVOSIBIRSK by Kim Kangsoo !!!

I share a link where you can see a program for Korean tourists who wanna go to my native city - Novosibirsk!!!

This is 47min video about some sights of Novosibirsk and its region - Berdsk, Koleuvan and a symbol of our city - Akadem Gorodok (A City of Science)

I think not  every "classic" sights for tourists were shown, but still I enjoyed the video))
But Novosibirsk seems not a 3rd largest city but a provincial town, in my opinion.

Particularly I was surprised at music in the video)) Dima Bilan who performed opening song is really one of the most popular singer in Russia and Russian singer abroad (after he won Eurovision). Two Alsou's songs was also used)
But J. Bieber  has nothing in common with Nsk)


I like the video and thanks Kim Kangsoo and his team for visiting Novosibirsk and making the video!!

I hope it'll be available in the Net!! Wanna see what Korean guest think about Novosibirsk)

Well, if someone would like to visit a heart of Siberia - welcome!!
