I was walking through Oratakoy last Sunday with a friend of mine. We were heading to the House Cafe for dinner when we saw them in front of the restaurant...fortune telling rabbits. Now, I had seen some of these clairvoyent coneys once before while in a cab going through Sultanhamet and had immediately decided that having my fortune told by a bunny was something that I had to do. It was my duty as a tourist. Sadly I hadn't been able to find them the last couple of times I had gone back to that area. Fate finally stepped in and threw some in my path.
We walked over, and the fellow who ran the rabbit's booth said we just had to tell them our names. Once we told the rabbit our names he held up a holder with little pieces of paper stuck in it and the rabbit picked one out. Then we were told to make a wish and the rabbit picked another piece of paper for us. Finally we came to the best part, getting to hold the little bunnies. They were all fluffy and cute... Anyways, after we gave the bunnies back, we read our fortunes. Oddly enough, they made sense. Although, not particularly well written (but what can you expect from animals with no thumbs), they had a certain truth about them. Don't get me wrong, I list fortunes from rabbits just above those from cookies, but we both agreed that they were pretty dead on about us. I should have asked for lottery numbers.
