FRIDAY
Tal-Balzunetta's famous watermelons

(29th August
2008)
 

The popular 'Marc Tal-Balzunetta' is well known for the euphoric celebrations especially from the revellers. One can easily notice that most revellers wear the same garment colors and hold a watermelon in their hands while dancing with the tunes of 'Viva x-Xemx' and 'Ta' Garrew' marches. The watermelon is filled with a mix of cocktails and it is years-old tradition only used in Ghajnsielem specifically for Friday's demonstration march.

Ghajnsielem.com has followed the process of making these famous watermelons just a few hours before the march begins.


Step 1: Plan the cocktail mix carefully



Step 2: Buy the watermelons



Step 3: Buy all the necessary ingredients for the cocktail mix






Step 4: Buy a plastic pipe tube






Step 5: Cut the upper part of the watermelon very slowly






Step 6: If the cutting process is not done slowly, the watermelon will split















Step 7: The red flesh is removed leaving only the green skin









Step 8: The cocktail ingredients are then mixed together









Step 9: A hole has to be made for the tube pipe


Step 10: The watermelons are finally ready!


Celebrations start!

 

The very final process...
