Huh--you Google better than I do. Somehow that "mind-mapping" item didn't come up for me. Thanks.

Brunch with friends -- As posted by Amy Chua. www.facebook.com/amytigermother/photos/a.142826885790409.35220.134679449938486/982766591796430/?type=3&theaterAmy is a Law Professor at Yale, a legal scholar, and an author of books (two studies of international affairs, a memoir, and her most recent on ethnic-culture and its correlation with socio-economic success within the United States.) Her husband ( seated between Hugh and Deb) is also a law professor at Yale. I understand that one of the books she wrote deals with parenting ( a subject probably of interest to Hugh and Deb). Ms. Chua is seated next to Deb -- At the top of the table is old friend Wendi Murdoch. The two young ladies on Wendi's right are Amy and Jed's daughters ( and probably the subject of her parenting memoir).

The scene outside the window has an art painting look to it or is it an actual painting in his hotel room, and maybe not a window shot? Btw, a few have wondered whether Hugh is actually in Budapest right now. Someone even suggested that Hugh use the Periscope facility to establish that It is obvious that the photo was taken in the recent past ( not right now, as Amy Chua has tweeted that he was in a lunch with them on January 16). Hugh never said in his twitter message that the encounter with James and the train ride happened right now. Jo

Now this is adding to the confusion -- In an article dated 1 January 2016, it says that filming of James McAvoy's latest film ( Coldest City) will start next month ( presumably February?). j-mcavoy.org/Unless James was there last year when Hugh might have been there at the same time I feel like a senior Nancy Drew - LOL!

I believe I recall Hugh stating in an interview once that he would like the ability to transport himself. Well, clearly he has achieved that... I was SO confused!

LOL! We are not the only ones -- some tweets are wondering whether he is in NYC or Budapest But it looks like this may have been the sequence ( my fearless guess!) -- *He went to see LAZARUS ( David Bowie jukebox musical) on Friday night ( confirmed on the report by Vulture) - 15 January. *He was seen going to the gym on 16 January. *It looks like he went straight to brunch with Deb, Wendi, Amy Chua and her family (confirmed by twitter/iinstagram photo by Amy) 16 January *He probably took the flight into Europe in the afternoon...but since there is a time difference of 6 hours, he probably reached Budapest in good time. That was when he ran into James McAvoy at the lobby of the Four Seasons Hotel ( he tweeted this on 16 January ) *He was probably in Budapest that Sunday, 17 January ( he posted another image on that date, showing the scene outside the Four Seasons/Gresham - this was confirmed by people from Budapest as coming from that hotel) and probably was working on something ( an ad maybe? or another short film clip maybe?)? *Someone tweeted that Hugh was filming on her street in Budapest ( the tweet was posted on Monday, 18 January, most likely in the am or it could have been a delayed post from Sunday?). *He probably took the plane from Budapest to Geneva in late morning or early afternoon to make it to the SIHH2016 ( Salon International de Haute Horlegerie) exhibition and the MONTBLANC gala that night? All with question marks-- as I am only guessing Jo

Okay -- when did this happen http://instagram.com/p/BAteBisO1Z9 Did he fly right back to NYC after the Geneva Montblanc event ? Lisa is a media personality who has interviewed Hugh a number of times.

He does get around, doesn't he? New York, Budapest, Geneva, back to NY. I get tired just reading of his widely flung journeys. Ellen

Someone tweeted that she thought saw him on TV attending the Australian Tennis Open ( which opened yesterday) at the ROD LAVER ARENA -- LOL! Not unless he is NIGHTCRAWLER and can teleport himself anywhere in the world Not unless she is confusing the tennis open with Hugh's show at the same Melbourne Park arena Jo

LOL - many people are simply guessing, as we all are Maybe he flew back to NYC ( long flight) from Budapest ( although someone tweeted on 18 January that he was filming on her street in Budapest)...and then flew back to Geneva on Monday ( long flight again) -- why? I don't know but it does not make sense -- the body ( even if riding on first class) does not enjoy flying through different time zones! It is not also very healthy! Unless there was some urgency on why he would do it ( like he needed to sign a contract or something - again, just guessing ). It really all depends on when he actually went to film the Montblanc ad in Budapest. So --What has been confirmed was that he was seen at the Friday night Bowie jukebox musical ( LAZARUS), he had brunch with friends ( it seems right from the gym) and the image was posted by Amy Chua on 16 January ... and the Geneva Montblanc event was covered by media ( 18 January). Don't let it bother you if the dates do not seem to match. Enjoy the photos. Enjoy his tweets ( he tweeted the image of the scene outside his Budapest hotel on January 17) - although sometimes he does not use realtime dates! Enjoy that he is busy with professional activities and that he still leads a grounded life! Jo

I think you guys have figured it out, but Hugh was in Budapest for a day or two LAST WEEK to film that Montblanc commercial, when he also apparently bumped into McAvoy at their hotel. He then flew home to New York via London on Thursday and then flew back to Europe (Geneva) sometime late on Sunday, likely a red-eye. And now is back in NY. At some point over the weekend (Saturday perhaps), it seems they also had dinner with Lisa Wilkinson et al: https://www.instagram.com/p/BAteBisO1Z9 Don't know about that report from November 2015 though, that's news to me.

There was an earlier report that THE COLDEST CITY was going to start filming in November 2015, with James McAvoy, in Budapest. What is interesting is how James's hair looked in the photo with Hugh. APOCALYPSE wrapped filming in September of 2015, and he was completely bald for the greater part of that movie - so his shorn, close-to-the-head hair seemed likely to have grown only that much within a month or so. Hence, the talk that the meeting with Hugh might have taken place at around that time. But there are also conflicting reports re the actual start of filming for COLDEST CITY ( that it was only starting production in February or thereabouts)...and James might have liked his hair very cropped to the head and kept it that way. Today, there was another supposed sighting of Hugh walking to the gym dated January 20, wearing the same puff jacket, compression leggings, grey shorts and carrying the same Meister/M.A.P. document cover. But there was no snow on the street and sidewalk and the profusely growing ivy on the side had no trace at all of the white stuff. Yet, we see Hugh posting that image from his gym with the snow-covered grounds and shrubs. Also, Lisa Wilkinson posted a very recent image showing her reading something inside her hotel and the yard outside was showing the snow falling. Is a puzzlement, sometimes It's Hugh's fault -- he updates his tweets occasionally not according to when the photo was taken I think I will just enjoy the photos and not crack my head trying to figure out Hugh's whereabouts seriously. Unless we get inside info on his personal GPS attached to his self - LOL! Jo

Unless we get inside info on his personal GPS attached to his self - LOL! Jo NEVER trust the timing of Hugh's tweets without independent verification, lol. Recently, his feed has posted several shots that were taken as long ago as last September. That photo from "this morning" was most likely taken from his hotel in Geneva, where there was snow. He was seen in JFK yesterday, so he's definitely "home" in NY. But Hugh absolutely WAS in Budapest last week (he'd already left before he posted the two photos). I don't doubt in this case that he actually saw James then rather than go through the trouble of grabbing some old pics from months ago. Maybe James was in town for reshoots or something. Unless Hugh was trying to stir up rumors, a la the James Bond thing, lol. As I said on Twitter, his posts are a source of endless amusement.

Sound advice Yet, when he was seen at JFK, it was at SECURITY so it must have been on his flight to Geneva and not on the way home to NYC ( you only pass through IMMIGRATION/LUGGAGE/CUSTOMS and not through SECURITY. Unless airports, particularly JFK, have changed their current procedures. It can also be confusing when people tweet sightings of Hugh on a Budapest street ( when he was supposed to be filming in Budapest) and updates it at a current date -- I guess people also do time-delayed uploads This Hugh-watching stuff can really be confusing ...and amusing. I can understand why he might upload on a time-delayed basis because he may not want to be seen while doing professional activity. I guess the best way to be sure that he is where he is...is when he is back on Broadway! At the stagedoor and onstage ... Once the guards start putting up the barricades, there you go I do miss the times of TBFO - I once saw him at the annual GYPSY competition held at the Palace Theatre ( he was a presenter) and I was asked to come out at the side door near the stage - just in time to see Hugh and Deb exiting their backstage door nearby. Deb's Mum met them with Oscar and then they eventually split up. Hugh walked the length of the street until he reached Duffy Sq...and then proceeded in the direction of the Imperial ( walking, no one with him), while I had to go another way No paps either but some young ladies were also starstruck and gushing with me while watching him briefly with his family. No social media at that time either Jo

Hugh is so cute with his "Mornin'!" greeting to his "doggies"! Great way to cheer up all of you who may have been affected by the blizzard! I have a feeling this may turn out to be his most popular selfie yet Jo
