Martha Sorren is a freelance writer for Bustle, Refinery 29 and Insider. She has written a few articles about the lifestyle in Taiwan including McDonald’s in Taiwan as well the recently published 7-11 in Taiwan. Last year her article on the subway in Taiwan attracted quite a lot of attention. She compares the metro system in Taiwan with the one in New York City, a city she once had lived for 7 years. Apart from punctuality, she likes the cleanliness and the safety of the metro. By safety, she refers to both, her personal safety and the safety of the metro system. When comparing 7-11 convenience stores to the ones in the US, she points out that a 7-11 in Taiwan functions more than just a convenience store we know. So how unique are they? Let’s hear from Martha Sorren herself who joined us on the phone all the way from California, USA.
