I look forward to ~ing
I understand "I look forward to ~ing" means I aspire something.
I look forward to watching the drama.(O)
I look forward to watch the drama.(X)
Why is it wrong the latter sentence?
Is it mandatory to change verb to "~ing" form?

What's the best way to conquer a foreign language?
Today, While I was browsing the web, I spotted an interesting posting.
"What's the best way to conquer a foreign language?"
"Reborn"
At first, I laughed slightly and then I felt a bit sad as well.
Sadly, I agree that partially. However, I will not stop studying and learning foreign languages. I believe Even though I cannot be a native English speaker, I can reach some levels to share my opinion and interact with native English speakers very naturally.

English education
Although I have been studying English for a long time, I still don't have much confidence in English. I should blame on myself for sure. But I still want to point out a problem of English education system in Korea. A few days ago, there was an university entrance test in Korea. English test have drawn many people's attentions for its difficulty. I heard that some of English native speakers made clips to comment on the English test on YouTube. They said there were so many vocabulary English native speakers don't use and awkward sentences which make sense anyhow though.
At this point of time, I am wondering why English education is being conducted in an unpractical way. I don't want to be a translating machine. I want to communicate with foreigners naturally.

Attractive Japanese
I wasn't interested in Japanese language in the past. Although Korea and Japan are so close in distance, I haven't traveled in Japan yet. However, after I started learning Japanese due to my work, my interest about Japan is gradually growing bigger. It's very amazing that I am so attracted to Japan simply because I am studying their language. Since I really wanted to see my Japanse level, I already bought a airplane ticket bound for Japan in upcoming January.
On my next note book, I will write about differences between English and Japanese for Korean. I think it will be very fun.

First snow in Seoul
Korea has very clear four seasons. Spring, summer, autumn, winter. Now winter comes to Seoul. In winter, a temperature falls down below zero in the most areas in Korea. Of course, everything is freezing in winter.1 or 2 weeks ago, it snowed for the first time this year. Unfortunately, I was sleeping when snowing. The first snow fell at night time, so I missed it. When I woke up, sun already rose up. the first snow were melted away by sunlight.
I hope I won't miss first snow next year.

Working experience in VIetnam
Last in the end of June, I came back to Seoul, Korea. Before came back, I had worked in Vietnam for 1 year and 7 months. For Korean women in 20s, it's a rare experience. I worked in Haiduong, a medium sized city, an 1 hour away from Hanoi, capital of Vietnam. Every moment I had there is so precious to me and it will be my valuable asset for my whole life. I made many Vietnamese friends and hanged out with them often. There are so many beautiful places in Vietnam such as Halong bay, Sapa, Mekong delta and so on. I also enjoyed Vietnamese food such as Pho-bo, Spring roll and so on. Luckily, a company I am working for has 3 factories in Vietnam. I will have quite often chances to get there for a business trip or to be a sojourning employee once again.
I would be appreciated if you correct my awkward and wrong sentences, even an article and preposition.
Thanks in advance.
