Some folks on SVTP have lived in Dubi either in a military or civilian capacity.
I have an opportunity to live/work in Dubi for an unspecified amount of time.
I’ve heard from a few people here there are a few hoops to jump though for purchasing
property and a few other details Americans do not face in our Country.

I’ve been retired from Stanford Linear Accelerator Center in Menlo Park CA. for ~2 years. I gave almost 20 years to Stanford as radiological detection design Engineer, assembler, trouble shooter, installation and calibration type.

I have tuned Klystron modulators repaired the electronics and designed a few chassis that keep the pulse on high powered Klystrons which were originally purchased from Varian. SLAC started manufacturing their own 5045 Klystrons about 25 years or so. I was also an IT guy that was one of the lucky ones who in a small capacity helped started the first website in the US.
Click on the hyperlink. Even though I’ve been retired for a while, my name and the like are still listed.
Bay Area CLICKIE..

As most of us know, times have changed greatly especially since 9/11. Radiation is now a huge field. You might not notice all the detection devices at airports. I do since I’m fairly familiar with them.
Any input would be appreciated. It sounds like a great opportunity for me.
To be honest I’m not quite ready to retire. I spend too many hours on SVTP making snide remarks ;) Think I have a few good working years left in me.
Thank you.
Jeff

The lighting company that I work for does quite a bit of business over there in hotels and such. Not sure what the actual place is like though. Good luck in your new venture

I so want to visit Dubai, and stay there like a month but $$$
I'm trying to get a feel for things there first. It's a huge commitment for a Civi and a lot of millage.
It sure looks nice in pictures but so do a lot of places with lousy weather and insects big as a house.

I can just see myself hitchhiking in Dubai with a piece of cardboard reading, "S.F. Bay Area."
Not really, but the thought has crossed my mind.

Thank you.
A X-neighbor of mine packed his family. Fully loaded a ship container with their belongings and moved to Dubai. Originally from Pakistan, they lived in the US for 15 years.
I had his cell # and email addy but misplaced it when I moved from Santa Clara to Menlo Park. He's some bigwig IT guy.
Hell, I can't even pronounce his name let alone spell it.
Shoot!
