Fun fact about that Farmers Market. CBS TV studios are right across the road and (dunno if they still do) when they needed an audience to shoot the pilot of a new show they'd wander across to the farmers market and hand out free tix. People I know on holiday there got offered tix but didnt take it up as they were time poor. They found out later they'd missed seeing the pilot episode of... Friends!!!!

This is a great video! I think you portrayed this part of California so well and in such a classy, fresh way that better shows the area than the touristy ones. I really enjoyed this. Thanks!

Beautiful Phoebe!! I’m from Japan but lives in LA and so excited to see your videos right after Japan!!! I hope both Japan and LA treated you well😊

[Skkyyyyyyyyyyy]

So glad you had an amazing time in LA!!!

[DerekChaiMedia]

For awhile, I actually had thoughts of living in LA. There’s literally so much stuff to do there, and people are really friendly. We’ve been there a number of times and done a combination of touristy things and stuff like what you did. We actually hire a car every time and drive around by ourselves before heading to Anaheim and Disneyland. And the Grove is one of our favourite malls in LA. California is quite expensive tho. Enjoy your travels.

Welcome back to the States! I felt the same when I first visited LA in my early 20s, I hated it so much. But now I've been there several times in my older years and always had a great time.

[BenCrathan]

Cool video! I get what you mean by cheesy. Last time I ended up on one of those movie star home busses that took you around.

Double points for a Supermarket Snoop!!!!

[TBird]

Don’t forget to go watch the Dodgers play as part of your trip. Huntington beach is such a cool beach culture as well. Universal is the best theme park. Love your content 👌🏻👍🥇

[ingridnh]

So glad you decided to give LA another try! If you have the right itinerary, LA is cool!
It’s so funny that you did this vlog because my husband and I were thinking of going next year to visit my family!
For us such a different vibe from our home in NYC. ❤
You are better than me in buying the Hailey Bieber smoothie, cause the $$ is just a hard NOPE for me!😂

Hiya! It’s been 11 years since my first and up until now last trip to the USA. The Santa Monica Pier reminds me of my visit to New Jersey, to be more specific Jersey Shore. I love the beach areas of the USA. However, the big cities have too much homeless people that approach tourists and go tell them stories they’re not interested in and beg for money. That on itself, together with the worst food possible (I discovered my IBS in New York), made me not return to the USA yet. I’m not turning the USA down, but other destinations are just higher on my list. Thanks for sharing LA and see you in Hollywood 🤙

Great ep Phoebe!
I hated LA when we went a couple of years ago. Santa Monica & Anaheim we’re too bad but Hollywood especially the walk of fame are the most overrated places I’ve ever been!!!
Can’t wait for the theme park eps ❤

[youngcrippen]

That looks like a really chilled place, especially Venice. Not really how I perceived LA. Ziggys looks just about perfect! So cool! Thanks again. 😊

[PAE]

Luv this, you have helped me choose hotel and I didn't know about the hop on bus, thank you

[JenniferWillix]

Hello Pheobe from Matt and Jenny in Perth, yeah the bus tour looks like the best way to see stuff. It must be good to just eat out all the time !😊

[meat_loves_wasabi]

Looks very lovely .. it has been almost 20yrs since we have been to US. Our last visit we went to SF, LA & NYC…

[roberthodgins]

great video of LA i went to LA in 1998 and the only time ive been we actually had a school trip for a club i was in but was actually in Anaheim but flew into LAX my first time flying commercial i had pocked load of change haha of course this was Pre 911 ... it was a great trip

[thisbrendalee]

I LOVE LA! I lived there when I was younger. You really just have to do your research and find reels/tiktoks of the best of LA and create your own itinerary or explore/walk on foot to find what you enjoy! You have to try the aunty ann's pretzels, omfg my fav, please eat in n out burger haha and IDK why, but the sweet tea they have at mc donalds is sooo damn good. Also the food at cheese cake factory restaurants they have is SOOO GOOD!!! But honestly America is the most progressive country - the things you see, the people you meet, the things you can do is unmatched. You really just have to LOOK and stay open-minded. It is just cool to see everything you see in movies in real life!

[andreas_adventures]

The Huntington Library and Gardens is my favorite thing in LA! You should go if you have time!

[frankrogerbuaroy]
