2:49
But I'm not saying no I'm in LA for the next 24 hours
2:59
And I have $100 to survive. What would you recommend I do
3:03
I can't even survive $100. Can I? What? Food, snacks. Food, snacks, yeah
3:09
Like cafes. Cafes are fun. Yeah. It's depending on your food. Okay
3:13
I mean, I'm just going to freestyle it and see how it goes. Yeah. There's good things to do
3:16
I promise. Yeah. Looking around, you always find something. Yeah. Okay, nice one
3:21
Thanks, guys. Thank you. Different path I took was the path that made me
3:26
Basel getting you get you baby Alright so I just found a lady selling some delicious desserts
3:31
For five dollars which isn't bad Or is it bad? I don't know
3:37
When I have money I just lose my sense of how much things should cost
3:42
Hi I'll have this one please Thank you Yes vizier Thank you so much
3:46
Thank you have a nice one Hello $40 for a haircut is a bit pricey so we have to pass on that
3:57
Okay right now I'm gonna head to the hotel or to the hostel, drop this stuff off and then we can really explore
4:16
Pretty fancy stuff for $25. Hi, I'd like to check in please
4:23
So here I was thinking I had a lot of money to spend and I'm going around buying freaking fruity desserts
4:29
and trying to get a haircut and jewelry. Just to realize that this 25 is in euros
4:37
And when you convert it to dollars and you add like their fees, it comes up to 39.50 in dollars
4:45
All right, so as I mentioned, we're down 39.50 for this, not 25 dollars
4:51
Hi mate, how's it going? All as well. Nice place, huh
5:00
Yeah, it is. Especially downstairs. I'm like flipping heck. Going up. Alright, so in the pictures, we saw a rooftop with a pool
5:16
So that would be the highlights of paying $39.50 for this. Okie dokes so we have a rooftop pool area which looks pretty decent decent sized pool got some floaties in there we got a bar on the side got lovely weather tropical vibes
5:37
what more could you want? views for days Alright mate
5:55
Alright so I was going to get a nice cocktail. And lay by the pool
6:00
And just relax. But cocktails are about $20. Which is just ridiculous
6:07
The cheapest they have is the beer. For $9. What was your name
6:11
Barry. What's yours? Toba. Nice one mate. Have a good one. I always seem to dress it up like a cocktail
6:20
to make me feel better. I know I keep saying it, but you just wouldn't think this was December, would you
6:33
All right. We're out. We're fresh. We're clean. We've changed up. Now we're wearing something light
6:39
All right. So I just found a fast food truck. And nothing screams cheap
6:44
than a fast food truck. So let's see what the prices are like
6:50
I spoke too soon. Surprisingly, everything seems to be around the same price range
7:04
Whether it's in a store or it's a burger truck out on the street
7:09
it's like all $10 and above. And it's not surprising. The beer I bought alone was like $9
7:20
All right, we just walked into a supermarket. We're going to have a look around and see how the prices are like in here compared to what we're used to
7:31
We all hear about American prices being ridiculously expensive. All right, so you know discount aisles, right
7:39
I think this is the equivalent of discount aisles. They're all like yellow labels
7:43
And the cheapest yellow label is $4.95. Alright, so this is the hot food section
7:54
They've got loads of options. They've got sweet potato, or just potatoes and greens and mashed potatoes and more greens and chicken and the whole lot of rice
8:07
And for the box is $11.99. At least it says the box is $11.99
8:12
But then that's for one pound. So if you were to fill this up, the lady said this will come up to about £7 if you fill this up
8:20
So 7 times £11.99 is what you would pay if you filled this box up
8:26
Someone found out the price and then left a piece of mash
8:33
Someone was halfway scooping their mash and then figured out the price and then ran
8:39
So now I'm thinking, is it worth it? How much do you think this is going to come up to
8:46
Are you trying to feel it? I was tasting it. Are we allowed to taste it
8:52
I'm buying it. I got to know if it's good. $15 and it's hot, so it's going to be taxed
8:57
So it all depends on what you put. Wait, it's hot, so there's extra tax on top of that
9:01
It's hot food. So if it was just salad bar, it's not taxable. Cold food is not taxable
9:06
In California, and specifically in LA County, there's hot food taxes. called the hot food tax hot food tax wow wow wow wow are you not from california i'm not i'm from
9:18
england okay i'm just learning about all of this i think i'm gonna run now
9:22
and maybe just go back to the stores where i can predict the prices of what i'm buying and i know
9:33
exactly what i'm paying for what i'm getting here it's like fairy tale land they have like so many
9:38
delicious options and it kind of makes you kind of just like run wild with it
9:49
look at the size of this border so right now we're at the metro station we're going to jump on a train
10:09
and we're gonna go and look for the hollywood walk of fame i'm not sure what
10:13
the situation is here with barriers and paying for the train and if you can just go through but wherever the situation may be what i'd
10:20
usually do is i'll stand here for a few minutes and just watch what people do but the police are
10:28
right there and i don't think it's a good idea at the mall do you get caught pardon me do the police
10:35
like give you trouble um very rarely so if i went through now they wouldn't give me any trouble
10:41
well do you see anybody now well they're over there they're hiding over there behind there
10:45
yeah what should be fine I gonna take your word for it go through here go through here i just walked through and like there isn much to do here there isn what are you talking about
10:58
there's not a lot to do there well great cities in the world okay well you just have to it's it's
11:03
not a city that immediately presents itself to me you have to like you gotta look you gotta wait
11:09
you gotta search things out the little corners it's not like san francisco or london okay is
11:14
New York where it's like, oh, this is just there. The glory of it all that surrounds me
11:18
And, you know, there are the distances, too. I mean, it's just hard to get around
11:23
Oh, yeah, yeah, that's true. This has helped mass transit. We have a slow but growing mass transit system
11:29
So, well, there you go. You got in successfully. All right, thank you
11:34
All right, man. Well, good luck with it. Will do. Thanks. Take care. Have a good one. Okay, so we'll get in the Metro B line, which is..
11:42
on this platform and we'll be here in eight minutes and that should take us directly to the
11:50
walk of fame okay we made it on the train it's a little bit packed as you'd expect
11:58
but we found we managed to get a seat one misconception people have before they visit
12:04
the u.s is that they think everyone in america is really like loud and like outgoing and like
12:09
to see your face but really they're like just everyone else in the world I was
12:14
like really surprised as well when I go here I was like oh you guys are like just normal so from the station it's a 10 minutes walk to the walk of fame
12:26
okay so immediately you walk out the station it's literally lining the pavements
13:03
Oh my lord. This is a real snake. Hey, buddy, you want a picture with a snake
13:14
How much is it? Depends which one you like, small, medium, large. How much is this one
13:20
The big one is normally $30. $20 the medium. Wow, all right
13:26
How much do you want to spend? Let's start there. Maybe like $5. $5? $5? No
13:35
Okay, so we're in Hollywood. We're going to walk around and see what there is to do
13:43
I was going to get on one of these tours. They cost probably around like $40 to $50
13:49
I thought you know what, it's not worth it. I can just walk around and explore by myself
13:54
I won't be able to do all of that today. Look at this
13:58
this has this is how you flex on them on a budget
14:07
so if you have a watch of 100 to try and like impress you know your day
14:17
but really you're like broke and you're crying by yourself in the house
14:22
alright so just found Madame Tussaud not sure if I have to pay for it but I think people can just walk in
14:29
and take a picture with Kobe Bryant Dwayne The Rock Johnson
14:38
and as much as I know as much as I know that this thing
14:45
is so scary man I don't know why I get scared of these things
14:49
I just have like this really weird fear that they're just gonna come alive
14:54
And like, he's just gonna like, hold me. . I mean, I wouldn't mind if she came alive
15:02
Right, we don't have $32.99 to spend, but at least we got a little teaser
15:08
That one's the scariest. I'm not even gonna go near it at all. We in Miami, baby
15:13
So this has been one big strip this whole time, and it still keeps going
15:17
So let's see how far this walk of fame is. Oh, here we go. Our very own
15:30
It's actually quite a long walk. It's like, you can imagine there are a lot of celebrities
15:36
that don't even get to have their names on this floor. How they must feel
15:43
Right, I'm guessing this is as far as the stars go. So we're going to turn back around
15:49
I guess I've been told to go and check out the Hollywood sign I've looked at it
15:53
on a map it's about an hour away from here so no Bruno oh this is the Chinese
15:59
theatre and there's a little oh right I've seen this This is this
16:14
Is it free to go in or No it isn movie ticket Movie oh this is a movie ticket Okay so I seen a picture of Jackie Chan with like putting his imprint in the sand
16:25
People here definitely try to like sell you stuff. What you can expect on this trip everyone's like selling stuff so
16:31
Oh yeah. okay so I've just seen like a shopping complex style place we're gonna walk
16:47
around and explore you got a gift for me? yeah what is the gift? you have to enter the window
16:57
I have to what? enter the window do I need to pay to enter? no it's free buddy
17:01
okay so if I spin this do I get it now it goes towards this that's like the
17:12
opposite way to spin it isn't it $50 resort credit you can use it in two years no it's all right the Wi-Fi thank you so much
17:22
Aida thank you thank you I'm gonna run my whole life I've never associated this
17:28
word to sales. We're exploring the center for the complex. I was wondering do you
17:38
guys offer free samples? Yeah I think you can try up to two. I can try up to two. I can't try it all
17:50
I know Bro, I didn't lose it All right, so a part of me is slightly disappointed that there isn't much to do here other than like walk around and like look at shops and stuff
18:11
I was thinking LA, Los Angeles, obviously I'm barely scratching the surface
18:18
We go to Santa Monica or the beach or San Diego, all these places that people are talking about
18:23
Just haven't walked around, it's a bit of an anti-climax. And those are horrible
18:33
Alright, we're heading back. I just asked the assistant lady and she mentioned something about Santa Monica
18:43
I don't know if that's a journey for tonight. So we're going to call it
18:56
Okay, we're back downtown LA. I'm gonna walk around grab some dinner and then maybe if there's a bar or a club or something
19:06
happening I'm disappointed in Los Angeles there's all here there's nothing to do here it's like
19:12
island there's nothing to do all right so I'm just walking to a bar okay is someone sitting here
19:19
all right okay um can I can I ask um does this does this get lively later on
19:28
like in the evening? um, I'll tell you it's very thinnermis you know, like
19:36
today we're possibly gonna get busy yeah I think I found a place that might serve
19:50
all day breakfast so I thought I'd go for a sandwich because
19:56
I remembered I bought that pie that almond pie from that lady earlier
20:03
so that kind of counts as like pastry sweet pastry so I don't want to double up on sweet pastry
20:09
so I'm going to go for a sandwich later on I'll have that that's all about LA
20:15
I'm sorry guys if there's anything fun I should have done do let me know in the comments
20:20
but you guys know LA is a bit whack oh my lord
20:25
and feels to the brim. Alright, so I'm back at the hotel. I'm on the roof
20:32
and there seems to be an event going on. The pool is
20:36
lighting up for different colours. But I think the pool closes at 7pm
20:40
so after that you can't really go in. Which is already closed
20:44
But, okay I'm going to hang around here for a bit. It's probably better than just
20:50
sitting in my hotel room. Miserable. I'll have the daily punch Alright guys
21:01
I guess this is how you spend 24 hours In LA The famous LA
21:09
To be honest It's not gone as exciting As I thought it would
21:14
But then I also haven't explored all the Really exciting parts Like Santa Monica
21:20
Like Venice Beach know those like cool places but yeah 24 hours in LA. If you like this video give it a big thumbs up
