Your fortune in a cup

IN Turkey, there's much more to coffee than just drinking an aromatic brew. In addition to being a strong stimulant, it foretells the future, too.

Tiny cups turned upside down are a familiar sight in places wherever Turkish coffee is served, be it a yuppie alfresco café in Istanbul or the simple village shack near the ancient ruins of Ephesus where little old ladies gather for their evening chat.

i didnt think that this would be as popular as it is in TR. considering that TR is mainly an islam- dominated country i would have thought that "fortune telling" such as this would be frowned upon. is it not a sin in islam to try and determine the future in ways like this?

Offf Miss C, what a delight to actually tell YOU something about Turkey
Fortune telling is massively popular in Turkey, everyone I know likes to have a little dabble. Anyway, since Islam fundamentally says that our futures are pre-destined by Allah when we are born, then maybe fortune telling is not as incompatible with Islam as you think. But, as a non- muslim giving this opinion, I'm sure someone will have something else to say about this.

im very intrigued.. i love this subject u know..
i even admit to owning my own pack of tarot cards hehe.. maybe i should be the witch of TC eh.. prensesmiş hehe...

Kadir had his fortune told when his (female) friends pushed him to do so when they were out for a drink

Must admit that i was well chuffed with the results and needed to reconsider my vision upon the fortune in a cup!
