i can`t play the video

Hello Juan Jose

I'm sorry to hear that. I've checked the video and it is working for me. Perhaps there was a temporary error, or, if you still can't see it, I would suggest trying to watch it using a different web browser or a different device. Please let us know if that doesn't work for you.

All the best

Hello annakrelli

Did you see my response to Juan Jose? I would suggest the same thing to you. If you still can't get it to work with those ideas, please let us know what browser version you are using.

All the best

Hi everybody. I've never known to someone as the unusual situtaton in the video. However, I think is a great opportunity to know someone and posible to get a friendship. I like to make new Friends but definily It's doesn't happen to me, somenthing similar as the video. It's so funny. Haha
