TRANSCRIPT (Partial)
------------
Ensar: Tell us how you got into oud distillation. Like how did you start in the field of oud? How did that happen?
Dmitry: How did that happen? Okay. You just have to say how I was met Adam. I have a friend from Somalia. I met him in the Arab area in Bangkok. When he know where I come from. I'm from Moscow, he said I know one guy from your city. I said that wasn't possible. He said yes, from your city, same age and he don't know his number but you can find him in the pray first row behind the imam.
Ensar: In the mosque?
Dmitry: In the mosque and he has a big beard.
Ensar: I big beard.
Dmitry: Yes, and one day I see this guy and I say maybe this one because when everybody stand up and go out, this guy still sit and do dhikr, yeah.
Ensar: Yeah.
Dmitry: And he look like a Russian but I not be sure. I come, ask his name, speak English and he answer to me in English. I'm Adam. I from Moscow. And very fast we become friends and I asked what you do and he said I have a shop on (inaudible). I sell the oil there and in a few week, maybe one week, two week, Adam show me the bottle with agarwood dust inside and he said look, I soak already more than one week, now time for cook.
