So this is what that first hello world program leads to.

After freezing both of my feet in -43 degree’s. Move from Canada to the Cayman Islands 57 years ago. I’ve only been back twice.

I've been a big fan of yours for 10 years, wish all the best on your journeys.

Hi Tim,

I am an Emirati from Dubai, and I used to literally **study** your Python and AI videos when I was a high school student during lockdown, I even remember your pygame series being used by one of my teachers to teach game development. So I just wanted to say thank you and a warm welcome to the UAE!

In regard to your video, the three reasons that you’ve mentioned do not come as a surprise to me. Dubai (and the UAE) has always strived to be a welcoming place for all walks of life. This includes the heavy promotion of cultural and religious tolerance and co-existence in the country (look at the Abrahamic House in Abu Dhabi for example), and in contrast to certain racist stereotypes, gender equality is also promoted as 50% of our national parliament consist of women and we’re also planning to send a female astronaut to space, and she quite recently became the first Arab woman to graduate from NASA’s astronaut program. (Not to forget that our space program is currently being run by Sarah Al Amiri, who’s done such an exceptional job so far)

It’s also quite easy to setup a startup in the UAE, taxes, registration, recruiting from abroad is a very concise process, and I wasn’t aware of the whole political neutralness thing until I saw Tucker Carlson’s interview with Pavel Durov (Telegram founder, actually headquartered here) who brought up interesting things regarding that domain.

You haven’t mentioned this (or maybe I’ve missed it) but there are also programs that aim to keep talented expats who have contributed immensely here through the golden visa or even obtaining citizenship.

That being said, with Dubai being such a cosmopolitan city, people often overlook the local culture when they’re here. And being an Emirati, it’s really annoying when people come here on vacation and leave before complaining that Dubai is soulless or whatever when they’ve only visited Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina. So please don’t be that person!

Really sorry for the essay I just wrote, but once again, welcome to Dubai!

As a mid-eastern living in Iran I'm happy you're closer to where I live now and I wish you the best moments around here Tim. Dubai is a great place for business people. I got really shocked hearing those numbers about the taxes you paid in CA, especially the exit tax which was beyond ridiculous. Anyways, now living in Dubai, time to make some more money! 💸💸💸

[danishirfan]

Wow! That's nice!

Hopefully, you will enjoy your life in Dubai!

[looyd]

What happens if you want to move back? Could you use the money you earned while in Dubai or would you have to pay taxes on it?

[Jack_Nack]

Ah, Dubai. Where the sea meets your front door.

[AndrewChung-olsv]

:) glad you're happy with your decision! Definitely will be looking forward to watching your future videos on this channel. This is random but I'm watching your tutorial on Django and it has one of the best explanations, so thank you! And keep up the great work Tim!

[alimihakeem]

Hi Tim. Congratulations. That's absolutely great

Have really got a lot of value from your channel especially from your flask tutorial

I really want to narrow down and specialize

[kapibara]

Good luck! I absolutely adore your python tutorials 😊

[igorshamrylo]

Thank you for your video. I agree with you. Could you please make a video of the lifestyle in Dubai? Any interesting activities, or gatherings of interesting people. Thank you.

[ConnerArdman]

Congrats on the move Tim and super inspiring first video! I'll need to find an excuse to come visit soon 😃

Be careful of business dealings with citizens of Dubai. My company got really screwed by a broken contract in Dubai. Court systems there are set up to only support local citizens.

[wscrivner]

55% tax - wow! I knew taxes were higher in Canada (than the US) but I didn't realize they were that crazy.

[usamashami]

Wow, you achieved so much at a young age!! ❤
P.s. Found this channel from your LinkedIn, this needs reach, glad to know about you :')

[redvine]

Its great ideas for u-tube videos, but when trouble is around the corner, people wants to come back home.

[TimHuza]

Hi Tim, my name is also Tim, I’m 13 years old, I watch you, subscribe to all your social media's, I watch you and learn to program with your help, you help me a lot, thank you very much, you help me a lot! Thanks for the video, and for all your videos on the main channel, keep it up!

[FelixBruce-izun]

I'm moving to Dubai next week. It's great to see videos like this to reassure the move. Cheers for more great content Tim
