The Frying Pan

Louis wishes all his fellow Scots a happy St. Andrews Day and recognizes some casual racism while Rowan checks his privilege and tries to figure out how to talk to people.

The Frying Pan returns but with only one expat. While Louis remains in Spain despite some fruit-centric vandalism, Rowan has returned to the US and some confusing cultural changes.

This week on The Frying Pan, Rowan describes the various incarnations of sweat he has experienced in Bali while Louis happily reports that it is cooling off nicely in Spain. Yup, it’s a conversation about the weather. How very British.

After some rather significant techincal difficulties (Sorry!), we bring to you Louis trying to find a chica to help with his Spanish, a trip to Malaga for some tragic rugby, and Rowan’s visa nightmare.

This week on The Frying Pan Podcast, Louis asks the questions and Rowan gives the lowdown on the Indonesian language and dog street gangs.

Louis and Rowan get deep about why they are where they are and why they are doing what they are doing.

Rowan and Louis state the obvious: Hangovers are the worst.

The Frying Pan is back after a little break to wrap up our discussion on food. This week Rowan and Louis dive into Indonesian cuisine, Rowan talks about his 25 hours on a bus and Louis gets some dates. The fruit kind.

We’re in decimals, folks. Join Rowan and Louis in part uno of dos as The Frying Pan dives into food of the Spanish variety; snails, mayonnaise and everything in between. Also, warning: Louis’s Expat Experience this week is graphic and may remove all hunger you built up listening to the previous twenty minutes.

Sport has always been a favorite topic for Louis and Rowan, so this week they get into the weeds on the sporting cultures of their locales. Here are Rowan’s articles on Indonesian football: Soccer Madness in Indonesia: Can the nation’s top league finally get underway? Protests, Politics, and Corruption: The fight to control Indonesian soccer
