Default What are those wall jacks?

At 2:41 there are two separate wall jacks. The one closest to the
camera may just be 90 degree wall plugs, but they seem to be slimmer
than the ones used in the US.
I can't even guess what the other jack is.

BTW if it wasn't for the Internet there would be no way you could
convince me that cats are dominate over dogs. They are.

The power plugs look British, the other one could be anything, although
the shape really stands out.

It's over ten years since I was in the UK and even longer since I lived
there, but the ones closes to the camera don't look like any UK ones I
ever saw. But it does look vaguely familiar; I'd say one of the European
countries (I don't think they're all the same).

As for the other one... Telephone? (European again, of course)

Sure looks like a yugoslavic phone jack to me.
They use about 4 different electrical plugs too - serbia or mantenegro
would be my guess.

Never been to any of those countries, but the power plugs looked vaguely
familiar -- France, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark?

Modular telephone, angled so you can put furniture closer to the wall.

The one closest to the camera looks like the ones I saw a few days ago
in Guangzhou airport (mainland China). There were also pairs of slightly
recessed coaxial connectors (for TV, etc.) but side by side rather than
positioned diagonally as in the video.

Hard to tell from that angle.

The electrical connector looks like the standard Euro plug.

The other jack could be for a TV antenna.

We had similar plugs in Germany. But the photo
