30yr+ Los Angeles vet checking in. Your family is adorable. Wish I'd gotten the chance to chime in while you were here... lotta off the menu stuff available here in LA. 😁 So sorry you hit during the rain: This weather happens once every 20yrs. It also snows at roughly the same frequency. Hope you enjoyed your time here!

You were so brave to take on the 5 from LAX!!! Also, ice machines tend to be in separate rooms because they are so noisy. We had friends from NZ (south island) who got on the freeway by mistake and had quite an adventure. They finally got off in Mission Viejo and called.

This video was great! I'm from St. Louis, Missouri and have never been to LA, you showed alot of cool spots! I'd make the trip just for the tour guide, he sounded like a good time! I love the content your family puts out and welcome to the States!

I live in Wisconsin and we enjoy Cheese Curds Especially when they’re Fresh that day because when you eat them warm and they Squeak. Also fun fact Wisconsin is also known as the Dairy State and when you bye cheese we have a logo that it was made in Wisconsin. Fast food chain Culver’s was started in Wisconsin as well. Glad you made it to America and had a great time hope you all can make the trip again.

San Bernardino county is the largest in California. It stretches all the way to California/Nevada state lines

They call those little tacos street tacos, and the beans are refried beans. There's also bean dip I'm not sure if we have anything called bean sauce, but that food looked delicious!

3:01 indicators are on the door side of the steering wheel. I had the same confusion when I drove in Thailand. And then when I got back the US was using the wrong lever as well
