Which was a good idea because it was still a little early and the line was only this long:
This is the sign for the security line. It appears that an Irish guy helped them translate it.
When you get there you put your bag in a tray just like you would at an airport. And you walk through a metal detector just like you would at an airport. But instead of x-raying your bag the guy just takes a look inside. As I was getting into the elevator I got my first of many warnings about pickpockets.
This is a warning to make sure smokers don't light the filter end of their cigarettes I think.

That would have been a perfect opportunity for a really good water balloon fight with the people in line. Everytime I see a view like that I want to drop something wet on those below.
Hi Jorge. I am Henry, from Peru. I am fan of Lost and your person Hugo. Where are you From? From Chile? Bye
Saludos desde Lima
They're letting Tanks through at the Eiffel Tower, but they're going to shake people down for a fingernail clipper or some spare change that got stuck in their pockets? ;) ;) ;)
Hmmm. France. Not unlike America in their big ole wtf super special security measures. ;)
Thanks for the smiles!
As long as you're in the neighborhood Jorge, I highly recommend restaurant "Chartier" in the 9th Arrondissement. Great food. Fun place. Open late. Waiters scrawl orders & your bill on the tablecloth. YouTube this place. There's a taxi shortage in Paris, so call ahead, or metro it to "Grands Boulevards" station. Enjoy / Doc Waxman
Ahhh I miss Paris! Though I think I must have gone on a good day because I don't remember much of a line at the Eiffel Tower. Speaking of... that's where my husband proposed to me - at the top! Thank goodness it was in 2003; pre-TomKat hahaha. When we were up there, a HUGE thunder/lightening storm happened. Yeah, it was a little freaky LOL.
Hope you enjoyed the great views from up there!
i wanted you to know i spent most of my 8 hour shift at work reading your whole blog. Yes, the whole thing from the first one to the most recent. I'm gonna make it part of my weekly routine. I'm a HUGE fan of Lost and don't know how much longer i can go without a new episode. Hugo, Swayer and Charlie are my absolutle favorite but everyone is awesome. I look forward to further reading :)
Irish translation! LOL
Thanks for the regular chuckle, Jorge.
: ) P
"Tanks?" Sounds like pidgeon to me!
Mahalo for sharing your travel images!
Yo, weird question, but were you in Tampa, FL near the beginning of the year? At a bar called Czar Bar? If not then you have a serious doppleganger
those are awesome.
lol hugo i really love your blog cause it's real so funny! and it would be like that even if you werent a television superstar! i think you're a great "normal" guy :)
LOL! The French don't pronounce 'th'. Word that start in 'th' come out with a hard 'T' sound so 'thanks' is pronounced 'tanks'. In fact they don't even pronounce 'h' when it's on it's own. They use it in their spelling but it's silent. So your character on "Lost" would be pronounced "'ugo" or "'urley".. only with a French inflection.
Mind you, I'm not making excuses for poor translation and spelling. Google has a great language tool and I'm almost positive they have the internet in France. ;-)
Te dejo un saludo cordial.
que bueno saber que tienes un blog en la vida real, de verdad no pense eso, y pensar que llegue aqui navegando y paseando por la blogosfera,
Para ti todo el exito que mereces en tu carrera.

pd, Paris... Una ciudad bellamente inolvidable ..
"Hmmm. France. Not unlike America in their big ole wtf super special security measures. ;) "
I have to disagree. It's only true in the most visited paid monument in the world. Otherwise, France is more relaxed.
If you're still in Paris, try 1728. Awesome retaurant.
"En Francais, wee do not smoke like zese Amereecan pigs! Non. Wee smoke zee proper way!
*takes puff*
Mmm, je suis in flavour town! Oh hoh hoh hoh hoh!"
Tanks, Jorge - I enjoyed this post! ;o)
That line to go up la tour looks almost as long as the line I had to stand in at the Bon Jovi concert tonight to use the port-o-potty (figured you might appreciate that bit of info ;)).
I love poorly translated signs! One of those little perks in international travel.
Tanks.
Fat Lazy Guy!
"Mmm, je suis in flavour town! Oh hoh hoh hoh hoh!" Hilarious.
Jorge,
HA! The French call that a tower?! They should go to Toronto Ontario. We have a real tower called the CN Tower, whch also overlooks the Skydome. Let the frenchies try and talk back now!
you're a gas ticket Jorge!
Paris is fantastic.
You have to get a Brie and Salami Sandwich on a baguette. It is ridiculously good.
I have seen that you have been pretty busy traveling around the world...is that what you do when you are not on the set?? because if yo do, i like your job hehehe.
I wnt to paris 8 years ago on september and I dont rememeber lines that long...anyway is worthy!!
Greetings from Mexico
'Open your bag, Tanks.' Hilarious!
Love the pics!
TANKS for sharing!
Yes - we Irish gave a thing about "th's" and our inability to pronounce them. Love your blog. Love Lost. Keep up the great work.

What´s wrong with French ppl? Not only they don´t even try to write in English correctly having 1000 of tourists each day but also their cigarettes are weird hahahahahaha. Awesome pics, congratulations. Cuándo vas a venir a Argentina Jorge??!!! Al menos sabes donde queda Buenos Aires? (no mucha gente nos conoce!) Kisses!!!! ^.^
you saw the eifel tower? dude you should have gone to germany my homebase! i would love it
I have having a blast catching up on your blog! I have been to Ireland (though none of the same castles and pubs as you) so those posts were fun, but I am trying not to overload you with comments... So I kept my smiles to myself when I saw the first beret pics. And with the Irish joke on the word, "Tanks." But your comment on the sign warning smokers not to light the filtered end of their cigarettes cracked me up--for real laughing out loud--so I had to stop to tell you how funny you are.
Garcia, you've so many nice insights hehe, glad i enjoy this little trip of yours, by the way...Brazil...we have many beautiful things here,
see ya
i know all this happened a hundred years ago (well, at least 6 months), but i'm new here and slowly reading it all through :)
So, I was pick-pocketed when up the eiffel tower! .. but i caught her (sneaky little cow).
tanks for the giggles! ;p

There was this guy who believed very much in true love and decided to take his time to wait for his right girl to appear. He believed that there would definitely be someone special out there for him, but none came.
Every year at Christmas, his ex-girlfriend would return from Vancouver to look him up. He was aware that she still held some hope of re-kindling the past romance with him. He did not wish to mislead her in any way. nike shoxsSo he would always get one of his girl friends to pose as his steady whenever she came back. That went on for several years and each year, the guy would get a different girl to pose as his romantic interest. So whenever the ex-girlfriend came to visit him, she would be led into believing that it was all over between her and the guy. nike womens shoes The girl took all those rather well, often trying to casually tease him about his different girlfriends, or so, as it seemed! In fact, the girl often wept in secret whenever she saw him with another girl, but she was too proud to admit it. Still, every Christmas, she returned, hoping to re-kindle some form of romance. But each time, she returned to Vancouver feeling disappointed.
Finally she decided that she could not play that game any longer. puma mens shoes Therefore, she confronted him and professed that after all those years, he was still the only man that she had ever loved. mens puma shoesAlthough the guy knew of her feelings for him, he was still taken back and have never expected her to react that way. He always thought that she would slowly forget about him over time and come to terms that it was all over between them. nike shox Although he was touched by her undying love for him and wanted so much to accept her again, he remembered why he rejected her in the first place-she was not the one he wanted. nike 360 air maxSo he hardened his heart and turned her down cruelly. nike running shoesSince then, three years have passed and the girl never return anymore. They never even wrote to each other. NIKE air shoes The guy went on with his life..... still searching for the one but somehow deep inside him, he missed the girl.
On the Christmas of 1995, he went to his friend's party alone. "Hey, how come all alone this year? Where are all your girlfriends? What happened to that Vancouver babe who joins you every Christmas?", asked one of his friend.nike air max He felt warm and comforted by his friend's queries about her, still he just surged on.
Then, he came upon one of his many girlfriends whom he once requested to pose as his steady. He wanted so much to ignore her ..... not that he was impolite,wholesale nike shoes but because at that moment, he just didn't feel comfortable with those girlfriends anymore. nike shox torchIt was almost like he was being judged by them. The girl saw him and shouted across the floor for him. Unable to avoid her, he went up to acknowledge her.
"Hi......how are you? Enjoying the party?" the girl asked.
"Sure.....yeah!", he replied.
She was slightly tipsy..... must be from the whiskey on her hand.
