"First day is a blur" Kwanghee shares the start of his LA trip

Upon arriving in LA, Kwanghee shared travel tips considering the local temperature and time difference. Rather than making excessive plans immediately after arrival, Kwanghee advised taking rest, noting that the first day can be somewhat tiring due to the hot local weather and jet lag. He expressed satisfaction with the local atmosphere while looking at the palm tree scenery of LA.

The accommodation for this trip was chosen at a hotel near BCD Tofu House. Based on past experiences, Kwanghee introduced the accessibility and atmosphere of the area to begin the local itinerary. The cast revealed they used Trip.com during the travel preparation process, including airfare and accommodation, mentioning discount benefits such as receiving a 25% hotel discount coupon when booking airfare.

$38 brunch: The taste and price of a local bagel hotspot

For the first official activity, Kwanghee visited a local bagel restaurant to experience the brunch culture of LA. At this spot, which is frequented by locals and immigrants, the cast ordered a 'Hand Sliced Smoked salmon Bagel' and lemonade. During the ordering process, Kwanghee was seen communicating in English with local staff to confirm the menu.

The total price for the ordered menu was tallied at $38 (approximately 50,000 won). Regarding the texture of the bagel, the cast commented that it felt crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. In particular, the high freshness of the salmon in the salmon bagel was noted. Kwanghee shared his thoughts on the menu, calling it a "healthy taste," and recommended it as a place worth visiting at least once while local.

Shopping journey continues to Melrose Avenue

After finishing brunch, the group is scheduled to move to Melrose Avenue, a representative shopping destination in LA. Kwanghee volunteered to act as a guide to introduce various spots in LA during this journey, announcing a shopping itinerary at Melrose Avenue located in the downtown area.
