Where in south cA can you buy Wu-yi-tea?
Wuyi is a mountain in China that is famous for producing a particular type of oolong tea. The tea plants grow in rocky cliffsides, which imparts a high mineral content to the tea bushes, and so these oolongs are called yancha ("rock tea"). These oolongs are made with full leaves twisted into a long wiry form and usually heavily baked/roasted. There are many types of yancha produced in Wuyi, but when a tea is labeled simply "Wuyi Oolong" it usually referrs to Shui Xian (translated "Narcissus" or "Water Sprite"). The most famous Wuyi oolong is Da Hong Pao (translated "Big Red Robe").
Any tea shop that carries quality loose leaf Chinese tea is likely to carry Wuyi oolong. If you are in Los Angeles area you can get some at Wing Hop Fung, Tea Habitat, Red Blossom Tea Company, Lupicia, Chado Tea Room, and maybe Ten Ren.
Quality Wuyi yancha is highly sought-after by connoisseurs because of the depth and complexity they can offer. If you purchase from a quality vendor then it can be worth asking the staff to show you how to brew it traditionally using a small pot with lots of leaf.
Lately Wuyi oolong has been promoted for weight loss. The truth is that most white, green, and oolong tea contains all the same chemicals and have all the same health benefits. Differences in processing and growing environment may change the balance of chemicals slightly between different teas, but they are all equally healthy and none are likely to offer benefits differently from other such teas. Practitioners of Chinese medicine often suggest pu-erh tea for weight loss, but not everyone likes pu-erh.

What is the present corporate tax rate in Dubai?
The UAE does not have any federal income tax on wages or salaries. Each emirate can impose income taxes but none do, and it would be very unlikely for that to change in the near future although there has been talk of introducing income tax in the past. Look to Saudi Arabia as a guide, where the idea has been mooted more often or more seriously, but usually dismissed. If it ever does happen there, the UAE could follow suit.
Exceptions below:
Foreign banks are subject to a 20% corporation tax on profits earned in the emirates of Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah (according to government.ae, the UAE government website). Local banks do not have any UAE tax bills.
Oil companies are subject to a 55% tax rate in Dubai and 50% in other emirates, in addition to royalties
Sales tax already exists, or some form of it does, in the UAE. For example:
Alcohol in Dubai attracts 30% sales tax (or none if you buy it illegally - one reason why many do)
Hotel services and entertainment attract a 5% municipality tax ie rooms, food, other services.
Restaurants often add a service charge of 5-15% so you will usually see "++" written on menus indicating plus municipality tax plus service charge. And in case you're wondering, that service charge rarely ends up in the pockets of the service personnel. Just another one of Dubai's many ironies.
Cigarettes attract some tax, so yes, in answer to that perennial question, they are slightly cheaper at airport duty free. And the limit was reduced to 200 cigarettes (1 carton) from 2000 (10 cartons) several years ago. Not that anyone seems to take any notice.

What will be the cost of living and rental accommodation in Dubai?
Grapeshisha has a great spreadsheet with lots of data for free.
First off, do you know that Dubai is listed as one of the top 20 most expensive cities in the world to live in? However, moving to, working and living in Dubai is just like moving to, working and living anywhere else. Moving to a strange place is always difficult and a little scary.
Dubai currently holds the 89th position overall based on the latest cost of living index, as the most expensive place in the world for expatriate living, out of 300 international locations. This means that living in Dubai is fairly expensive, but not as much as many other cities. If you are planning to relocate to Dubai, it is helpful to gain a rough estimate of what it might cost to live here.
Your shotgun was made in 1892. You can find a lot of information in a book called the "Blue Book of Gun values" As to the value, that can only be determined by inspection and grading.
Answer
This is hard to believe as 1892 is prior to the dates listed on the barrel! Blue Book of Gun Values usually won't have a picture.
The early Marlin Shotgun is the Model 1898 - first made in that year. The Brophy book - Marlin Firearms will have lots of pictures and great detail about this and really all Marlin firearms before 1985 or so.
What is it worth? Well - unless you have a fancy engraved one - not much. Marlin says not to shoot these guns and while I believe it to be a well designed and well made gun, the safety systems and materials are over 100 years old and have been know to fail. If it is unsafe - then it has more liability than value. Get it checked out my a competent gunsmith that is familiar with the model.
