My dream was to move to Dubai one day and live on the Beach In a country where I believed Democracy existed in the Middle-East. In one of my first few trips I was attracted to The Emirates by its beautiful weather, beaches, sands, deserts, low duties and what looked like a great place for business oportunities. In a country where one does not have to pay income taxes and where duties for imported items were at only 4% seemed like a wonderful place to be and do business coming from Taiwan where Duties on cars can run upwards of 100%.

My first 500 cameras sold...
Upon walking around I walked into a shop Named Back then Speed-Gulf Computers which was Run by a Syrian man named Anas Al Nabhan. The owner of the shop asked me to help him import a particular camera from Taiwan that he wished to sell in which he had an order for. The first time 500 cameras were ordered and I flew to Dubai personally to clear them and deliver them as well as to collect my money for them. With a little haggling here and there I managed to collect my money and I flew back to Taiwan.
