updated to ****: managed to reach them, problem fixed by support within a week. no offer to extend my subscription for that week though. FIRST REV: paid for premium to see the friend requests. impossible to see them, the page says I must upgrade to premium which I am already. contacted support: no support; FAQ only. reported bug: page pretends there is a captcha init which is false. so, no way to use the premium main option of seeing the friend requests... rather frustrating

Thankyou for the 1 year experience of meeting people in different countries. I already found someone to take care and help me with Nihongo lessons. I met a lot of girl friends too! They are so nice:). I already deleted the account because I want to focus for our future. Wish us luck, Langmate!
