I've always wanted to try dog. Can you recommend a good restaurant that serves this specialty? Also, where are the best places to go for frozen yogurt and fried chicken wings?

Nowadays dog restaurant is a liitle hard to find but you should look for bosintang. This is dog meat soup. I think Korean can help you find this place. You can look for 보신탕 There are many chicken shops in Korea because Korean likes chicken and beer.

Maybe october is cold in Korea. I think you don't have to go to the beach.

You can visit Seoul but it takes one hour an half to go from Inchon airport to Seoul.

I fly from Helsinki and arrive at 8:00 am and want to go to Busan the same day (by train or by bus)
Do I need a reservation? or can buy tickets on the day of travel???

You can probably get tickets on the KTX to Busan on the same day, but it might be wise to book ahead just to be sure.

oranjefanka,

KTX bullet train is the fastest if and only if you start the journey from Seoul. You're flying into Incheon Airport which is 1~1.5 hours away (by airport shuttle) from Seoul train station.

There is an express bus service to Busan directly from the airport (see Incheon Airport - Bus) departing from bus stop 10C of the airport in every 2 hour - 08:20, 10:20, 12:30, 14:30, and so on. Journey time is apprx. 5 hours without traffic condition, and ticket is purchased on site.

Considering total fare and journey time, neither option will be advantageous over another, unless you fly all the way from Incheon to Busan in a hurry.
