An insider’s guide to life in their ’hood.
NAME:
ERIN ZILIS
FROM:
United
States
OCCUPATION:
My friend, Lisa,
also an expat,
likes to say she’s
a student at The
Southeast Asian School of
Lifelong Learning, and I love
that description! I suppose I’m
also a student there, and have
logged in enough time planning
trips around the region to call
myself a travel agent.
THE SPECIFICS
DEVONSHIRE ROAD
Photography by Michael Bernabe
What street do you live on?
Devonshire Road.
Exact words you tell a taxi driver
to get home?
One Devonshire, between Orchard
and River Valley, across from the petrol
station on Killiney Road.
What’s the name of your
neighbourhood?
River Valley or Somerset or Orchard or
Killiney… everyone calls it something
different!
Closest MRT station?
Somerset.
How long have you lived here?
15 months.
Why here?
Good luck and the great real estate agent
who found it. It’s walking distance to my
husband’s office, which was important
to him after years of commuting in
Californian traffic.
