I met my sister who was in Canada and checked in
I met my friend when I arrived in LA
This is a hotel called Beverly Hills SLS
I like the location here
Because I will be with her for only one day
I wanted to be in a nice hotel, so I chose this one
(It was a neat and well-located accommodation!) There are two beds
(I wanted to show you a Beverly Hills view...)
(Nonsense) What are you doing?
(Good job, girl!)
The view isn't as pretty as I thought
I thought it would be pretty because it's Beverly Hills, but I have to go out to see the whole view
(It's a shame, but I still like it!) Just because Beverly Hills is close doesn't mean it has a good view
I arrived in the morning in LA time
(I'm going to go out like this, without makeup) I don't even have makeup on
(I'm going to go out like this, without makeup) but this is going to be my outfit
I'm taking a taxi to Beverly Hills
It's about 8 minutes away..
It's about 8 minutes away.. Oh, there are five minutes now
They sell smoothies made by Justin Bieber's wife, Hailey Bieber
(The smoothie that Hailey Bieber, Justin Bieber's wife, had often which then became popular among MZ and became official on the menu!)
I wanted to try that, so I'm going to eat it now
I looked up the price, and it was 24 USD
(A cup of smoothie is 32,000 won...?) Almost 35,000 won in Korean money?
(But since I'm here.. I'm going to try it) It's really expensive for a glass of juice
(Magic that makes foreign grocery stores look pretty for no reason) It's really pretty
(Magic that makes foreign grocery stores look pretty for no reason)
Are you buying smoothies here?
I'm going to buy food here and go to the smoothies store
I'm waiting in line to try the Hailey Bieber smoothie while my friend is getting our food
(Julie's brunch menu) My friend bought it for us
(Julie's brunch menu)
(How much did you pay for this?)
(It's around 40,000 won.. Brutal!) About $34?
Hailey Bieber smoothie
(Taking a photo of LA's hot item~)
What did you say this is good for? This juice?
It's too sweet It doesn't taste like diet food
But it was really famous for being delicious
(It may be not for a diet, just healthy juice?) I looked it up, it's a combination of strawberry banana smoothie, coconut cream, and strawberry syrup
I thought it would be a clean taste that helps you lose weight
Very sweet strawberry smoothie?
(I thought of McDonald's Strawberry McFlurry..?) Plus strawberry syrup added so it's even sweeter
(Let's say it was a good experience!) The color is pretty
(Let's say it was a good experience!)
It's pretty over there
In foreign countries, everything is pretty no matter how you take the picture
(Julie, the director of the day, takes the camera before I know it)
-I'm doing a good job -The producer knows you're good at taking pictures
(Thanks in advance..)
You look pretty in the camera right now
It’s a little shaky though
(Haven't had a cute sisters moment in a while) Hey blurr this out
(Very busy being a producer) I’m doing 5 jobs right now
(Still can’t give up on a photogenic spot)
Wow it’s warm
(I thought it would be summer in LA..!)
I thought it would be really hot because it’s LA
(I should go back to the hotel and get a jacket) Why is it so cold? I’m freezing to death
(I should go back to the hotel and get a jacket)
(Got a jacket!)
I’m walking to the Grove from the hotel
It’s a 10 minute drive and 30 minute walk
So I’m just walking to squeeze in some exercise
Arrived at the Grove
I hope they have something pretty that is not in Korea
(Found a brand I like!)
This is so cute
(It’s an outdoor mall but there’s a lot to see so it’s worth coming)
(This is also a brand I like so I came in)
Maxi dress
(I got it because it would be good to wear during vacation) It’s cute so I’m going to buy it
(Going to meet a friend after a short day with my sister) I going to take a taxi to go to the hotel to meet Eunhye
Yesterday was really cloudy but today is a perfect California weather
I haven’t met this friend for a long time so I’m really excited
This is where I am going to stay for 3 days
Tommie Hollywood
It’s like the
(You know what I’m talking about) what you see in American shows
(You know what I’m talking about) The view is just like in American shows
It’s so neat I like it
(Bathroom is really clean so I’m very happy) The bathroom is really clean
(Bathroom is really clean so I’m very happy) Yes the bathroom is really clean
(Bathroom is really clean so I’m very happy)
(We were going to Universal Studio but it’s a bit cloudy today)
I know it’s better when it’s sunny
(We were going to Universal Studio but it’s a bit cloudy today)
(The world’s first ever OOTD preview)
I’m not showing everything
I’m still jet lagging so right now, this morning
LA morning is morning in 2~3 in Korea
So this time is the most difficult time for me
I come back alive at night
(I don’t know what it is called in Korean but right now we are in the hall of fame) We are in the hall of fame in Hollywood
(I don’t know what it is called in Korean but right now we are in the hall of fame) What’s it called in Korean?
I think it’s hall of fame
Anyways that's where we're going~
(Presenting the full outfit for today)
(California vibe~) This really feels like LA
These palm trees are amazing
-How can there be palm trees even in downtown? -There are palm trees right in the middle of the city
(Never getting tired of it)
(Feeling Hollywood energy even from the ground) There are these things on the floor
(Feeling Hollywood energy even from the ground)
Wow, loot at this!
(The famous place where the academy awards are held) It's the Dolby theater that I told you before
(The famous place where the academy awards are held) Dolby theater that I saw when I was planning the trip!
Surprised at how much bigger it is than expected..!
(Checking out the Hollywood street which I haven't visited in a while!)
(It was very LA)
A mall that in Hollywood street!
I will go to Victoria‘s Secret~
Forever 21 still exists?
They closed down all their stores in Canada
(I believe they closed in Korea, too! It was so cool)
(Found the Victoria's Secret store) There's VS
(need to stop by since I am in LA) I came to shop some Victoria's Secret
What did you get?
Secret!
(Playing hard to get)
The things that Jiyeon likes!
I used to have one of those everyday, which made me gain so much weight
Yeah, you skipped meals but not Ben & Jerry's.. LOL
-Should I get one? -Get one
Is it ok to have one before a meal?
Our stomachs have a separate space for dessert so we should get it
(Korea also carries Ben & Jerry's these days but decided to get one for old time's sake)
(So glad I decided to get one!)
We haven't had a single meal but we're just having ice cream
Cookie dough is so good
I tried the cookie dough flavor for the first time in Canada
I've seen a place only selling the cookie dough flavor
There's dough in here too
I like the texture
Really? You like the uncooked taste?
(I love) So much
What shocked me when I first came to Canada
was that during baking class
they just ate the cookie dough before it was cooked
I also eat cookie dough when my sister is baking cookies
(Suspicious) Is it ok to eat that?
(It's never upset my stomach yet hehe) It is edible
Go ahead!
(It feels more delicious because I'm having it during a USA trip)
(If you guys have similar preferences as me, make sure to try it because they have it in Korea, too!)
(Bustling as a famous restaurant in LA should be!)
A cheeseburger from In n Out
(That's thick)
Eunhye also got a cheeseburger
even I don't like burgers that much, but I got one it since I am in LA
(Let's try this!) I'm going to try this
And wear the hat
(Is this right?) Is this the right way to put it on?
Seeing the famous In n Out burger in person!
I like how crispy the buns are
(Munching the fries!)
(The first meal got delayed from doing bunch of stuff) 12:44, are you having this at 3 o'clock in Canadian time, now at 4?
I have my breakfast at 11 in Canadian time, I mean lunch
How about you? Is it good?
Yeah, I like it
I'm not sure if it's exceptionally delicious, though
Same
(Honest kids, lol)
It just tastes like a delicious hamberger
(It tasted like a hamburger but a good one)
The one thing about this is, I like how the cripsy the buns are
(A straightforward analysis) I don't really like burgers, but I quite like this one cuz it's good
(Irresistable hands)
It tastes better as I'm having more of it
(Seems to be a great place) The burger tasted really good even though I had ice cream a while ago...
Should we call an uber to get there?
(On to Universal Studios with full stomach!)
Let's go
(Hyped up after re-visiting Universal Studios in ten years)
Where should we go first?
(Haven't been here in ages, wasn't sure where to go first)
Mummy? What's that about?
I hope this isn't 3D, I really want to go on this ride
(Fortunately, this was a 'real' rollercoaster!)
I'm here to go on the 'Mummy Ride'
With my express ticket~
(Thought it'd be boring, but the mummy was rather terrifying...) It's even more exciting when there's no queue!
Woah, what's that?
(That's supposed to be a small water park for kids, hehe)
This place at the back is really cute, Eunhye
(Everywhere your eyes go is cute...)
Looks like I'm in France, right?
(It was insane, it looked like you moved France itself to this place)
This place looks like France, seriously
It's like a French village
(The place suddenly became European from American!)
(A quick teleportation to the Nintendo village just over the door)
(So pumped!)
(Such a cool spot... Must visit here at Universal Studios...)
(It truly felt like I was in the Mario game!)
(You can't not visit the souvenir shops)
(Oh my gosh...)
There are so many things I like here
This is so cute
Can you turn to the camera, Unnie!
Wait a minute
(What a cutie!)
So cute
Hair tie
(It's an outdoor shopping mall with lots of things to see, making it a great place to visit for many reasons) Oh my, what is this?
My My Melody
Everything you like is here
(Do u want to go home with me?)
(Master of the Universe Lore) She's Kuromi's friend
Jiyeon! I think that T-shirt next to you would fit you well
(Caution: This is for infants)
Oh my, it fits perfectly, it fits perfectly, Unnie!
(Why does this suit me so well?)
What's this haha
(With just one T-shirt, we're having so much fun)
They have those kids which you also like
(Have very clear likes and dislikes) What do you mean those kids
(Have very clear likes and dislikes) Those kids have names
My shadow!
(It's so fascinating to walk around and see these things...)
(I wonder how it's controlled) Even though I know it's fake, it feels so real and all...! It was so fascinating!
(Can tell right away that this place is Harry Potter)
Steam here!
(Seriously, everything here feels so genuine)
They've really done a great job here
It feels just like a movie set, totally!
(A slighty awkward shot with the train conductor~)
(It's a video, can u say hi?)
(The train conductor is just adorable, haha)
(He even adds is his cute Korean..!) Thank you
I saw this a lot from the movies!
Wow, that's amazing!
(Taste of dirt, earwax flavor... those jelly beans Harry Potter and his friends used to eat on the train!) This is cute
-You know these are really disgusting, right? -Are they bad?
(This place is genuinely dedicated to every single detail)
(We've arrived at the Harry Potter school!)
(This is called Hippogriff!)
(-10dB) I was a bit worried about the screams, but it wasn't as scary as I thought, and it ended quickly, which was a bit disappointing!
(We really went around quickly...haha) Next stop, The Simpsons!
So pretty here
(The colors are so vibrant and pop! It's just adorable in its own way) It's really pops out
(And then there's the slightly scary(?) Simpson clown) Look over there, it's scary
(Cross your arms!)
(All friendly rock and roll~)
(And...)
(And...heart)
(I met a cute flirting master,hehe)
(Lastly, we're here to ride the Simpsons ride!)
We came to ride something, but I'm not sure what it is
(Lastly, we're here to ride the Simpsons ride!) What's this?
(A video was played to narrate the storyline...)
(Was a bit confused, but it was a ride that flies indoors...? It was so Simpson, and I had lots of fun, lol)
(Quick, too quick!) It took 4 hours to skim through Universal Studios
(Kidults heading out now!)
(Kidults visited the hotel rooftop to get some sun)
You can see the Hollywood sign far away!
(Somewhere~~ over there...) You need to really look for it
I didn't feel very comfortable wearing a swimsuit
(I came up here to take a rest and chat rather than to swim, lol)
Came up here just with a dress on
I'm still enjoying it!
(I'll take a break to catch up with Eunhye and rest!)
(It was nice to catch up with Eunhye and take some time to rest)
(Ready to go out)
Let's go to Beverly Hills to have dinner~!
-What's that, Jiyeon? -No, cause I thought
It said, "Sweat "욱(wook)" Yoga"
I thought the shop is ran by a Korean
(This is LA!) Looks like a stick figure up close
(Dones't it look like one? Lol) Feels like it says "Sweat "욱(Wook)" Yoga" at a glance
(Doesn't it look like it? lol) It really looks like it
The place looks so beautiful at night!
I know, the streets are really cute here
The night streets of Beverly Hills
The streets are very clean and beautiful!
Ugh... it's cold...
(Honest reaction)
(Where did all the warm sunlight go!! I didn't expect it to be this freezing) It's freezing seriously
We're here in Beverly Hills to have dinner
Today, we're dining at an Italian restaurant that has amazing vibes
(Right here)
Via Alroro
(Al R ro R ro~) Alroro
(How am I supposed to pronounce the name!)
Let's look at the menu
They sound delicious!
There are lots of pasta options here, no?
Right, there are more pasta dishes here
(Very satisfactory?) I like it here
(The ambience is beyond exceptional!) I like the ambience here
(The ambience is beyond exceptional!)
The outdoor also looks beautiful
I love it
(Setting up the angle)
(The waiter corrected the light and walked away, lol) He changed the light
I'm not sure what's better
(Eunhye is contemplating ) Which ones are you contemplating in between, Eunhye?
-I think I'm going to have this -Which one?
(The pasta is) Ravioli but with truffle cheese sauce
I saw that a while ago! It looked good
(Let’s order!!) I like truffle
I feel famished all of a sudden
(Where are you my waiter! We're hungry because we've been doing a lot of things)
He’s coming to us
I have a question
(He recommended Arrabiata, so problem solved!)
(Since you're eating, you have to make the best choice) Eunhye’s waiting for the verification of her menu
(Let’s have some bread!)
(The order ended in a flash compared to the time we waited)
(I can smell the butter~) He has a real Italian accent
(It feels like a great Italian restaurant) I can trust him
(It feels like a great Italian restaurant) This place is a real Italian diner
(A bread that will soothe our hunger came out)
This balsamic bottle is so pretty
The bottle makes it look more delicious
(Eunhye’s full of trust now) Even the bottle of olive oil is trustworthy
Should I just pour it like this?
(Bursted!)
I poured too much
Just pour it on the dish, and dip it
(I didn’t expect it to gush out like this..!)
Be careful, it gushes out
(Crispy)
(It was freshly baked bread, crispy outside, soft inside) It’s tasty
This sour dough is so delicious!
(A taste that responds to trust) It’s hot like it’s just got baked!
(A taste that responds to trust) They probably warmed it for us
The man next to us looks so fancy
(A gentleman next to us is having dinner by himself) That’s cool
When I get older, I want to come alone to a place like here
(#Daily) And eat a meal here as if it's my daily life
Just having my lunch in my free time
(Huh? A Gimbap heaven?) Like a Gimbap heaven
(I'm so happy to be here on a trip with you~)
By the way, the hamburger we ate
I didn’t think it was delicious earlier
(I keep thinking about In n Out) But somehow, I want to eat it again
(Guys..In n Out is a great place..) The bun was so good
(Guys..In n Out is a great place..) Chicken was so crispy, too
Jiyeon, how do you think about LA?
I love it
No one here knows me
when I'm out of where I used to live
Everyone knows each other in my neighborhood
(I feel so free) and somehow, that gives me comfort
When I was in Toronto, everyone knows each other because the Korean community was so small
When we go to the restaurant, everyone we know was there
(Let’s eat freely~) Our food came out before we knew it
People’s accents here
Makes the place trustworthy
(Eunhye, fully immersed in the authentic vibe!) It's like a Korean restaurant run by Koreans
((Real) pasta) Arrabbiata
(It's slightly spicy penne pasta with peperoncino) Slightly spicy penne pasta
(Eunhye has ravioli with truffle(!!) cheese!) Eunhye got ravioli
(Eunhye has ravioli with truffle(!!) cheese!) It has truffle cheese
You seem to enjoy dishes like ravioli or gnocchi
Bon appétit
This looks exactly like something you'd love, Jiyeon
Eating makes me feel better
I think we were hungry
(A pretty intense schedule) We had a very busy day today
We walk more than 10,000 steps every day
When we left Universal earlier, it showed around 9,000 something, right?
There were a lot of places we didn't get to see
The area is so wide that even a short walk feels like
(Unintentional 10,000 steps challenge)
How is it? Is it delicious?
(It's just a classic flavor, but I loved the slight spiciness!) Classic tomato
In Korea, pasta sauces are often made sweeter
But from what I've seen, Italy tends to season their pasta sauces differently
(It feels like they focus on the natural flavors of the ingredients) The sweetness is toned down a bit, and it's just that tangy tomato flavor
At first, I ordered pasta and risotto (in Canada)
It's so different from what I know
(The taste seems a bit different from what I'm used to in Korea!) It's hard to get used to
(It's already the end of the second day) Tomorrow is going to be fun too
I don't want to go..
I don't want to go back home
I don't want to work
Originally, LA was La La Land
(It's like the city of dreams, La La Land) The city of dreams
(It's like the city of dreams, La La Land) The movie itself is
(Being out of touch with reality)
A little bit out of touch with reality, La La Land!
It's so good, just escaping from reality
It feels just right!
(I'm happier because I can have a brief moment to fully rest)
(It's too early for us to be disappointed!) See you again with Eunhye in LA LA LAND 2!
