本週的《英語咖啡館》迎來了久違的Angel老師！Angel老師這次從澳洲的勤務歸來，分享了她在Rottnest Island見到「地球上最快樂的動物」Quokka的經歷。我們也自然地聊到了「送禮」這個與國際旅行密切相關的話題。在台灣的送禮文化中，有許多令人意想不到的禁忌和眉角，也有很多有趣的民間習俗。而當要跨越國境送禮時，更會面臨海關規定的各種挑戰！

這禮拜就是母親節啦，John老師和Angel老師也分享了我們給媽媽準備的貼心禮物。如果你還沒準備的話，不妨收聽本集節目來獲得靈感。或是你也可以收聽我們去年的「英語咖啡館 Ep.216：Greetings, the American way」，用小小賀卡來表達大大心意！

This week on English Café, we welcome back the long–awaited Angel! Fresh from her duties in Australia, Angel shares her unforgettable encounter with the “happiest animal on earth,” the quokka, on Rottnest Island. Naturally, our conversation turns to gift–giving—a topic closely tied to international travel. In Taiwan’s gifting culture, there are many unexpected taboos and nuances, as well as fascinating folk customs. When it comes to giving gifts across borders, you also have to navigate all kinds of customs regulations!

Since this week is Mother’s Day, both Angel and I share the heartfelt gifts we’ve prepared for our own moms. If you haven’t picked something out yet, tune in for some inspiration. And you can also revisit last year’s episode—English Café Ep. 216: “Greetings, the American Way”—to learn how a small card can carry a big message!
