What was that?

The other night I couldn’t sleep – so at around 2am I turned on the TV. There was nothing on so I just start flipping between channels. Then something caught my eye so I stopped and start watching. It was one of those shows that was visually so engrossing that I just stared at it. You know the shows – they usually involve car chases, hooting and hollaring, or singing and dancing. I found myself watching this show for quite some time until it went to commercial. Strange that during the commercials I couldn’t understand a single thing. It was then that I realized that the show I’ve been watching isn’t even in English, or any language that I understand. I think it was in Croatian. I had just spent 20 minutes staring at the TV and not understanding a single thing that I’ve watched. I try to consider how I didn’t pick up that the show was in a different language, but nothing comes to mind. But I kept watching the show when it returned from commercials - there was nothing else on.
