Meet Azalea The Smoking Chimp, Star At North Korea Zoo
In Pyongyang of North Korea, a newly opened zoo has a star: Azalea, the smoking chimpanzee. If a lighter isn't available, she can light up from lit cigarette if one is tossed her way. Though such a sight would draw outrage in many other locales, it seemed to delight visitors who roared with laughter on Wednesday as the chimpanzee, one of two at the zoo, sat puffing away as her trainer egged her on. Renovations for the new zoo began in 2014, as part of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's efforts to create more modern and impressive structures and leisure centers around the capital.

STORYLINE:
North Korean lynxes and wolves made their public debut on Tuesday at a South Korean zoo after the first-ever animal exchange between the divided Koreas.
The animals were among 16 given to the South, making their trip across the world's most heavily armed border last week in exchange for five mating pairs of animals, hippos, red kangaroos, wallabies, guanacos and llamas, sent to Pyongyang Central Zoo.
The new arrivals appeared unsettled in their new homes.
Zoo keepers attributed this to the fact that they had been locked up inside their cages for days and had yet to become accustomed to being out in public.
But Kim Hyung-duck, the zoo keeper said the animals all looked healthy and he said he was looking forward to figuring out their characters.
Young children visiting the zoo let out wolf cries as they walked past the North Korean lynxes and wolves, which could hardly be distinguished from the South Korean variants were it not for the banner across their cages reading, Pyongyang's animal family, welcome to Seoul Grand Park Zoo.
Other animals sent to the South include coyotes, Siberian weasels, African ponies and Asiatic black bears.
Some children snapped pictures on camera phones of the Northern animals.
The beasts also drew stares from older South Koreans, who still suffer painful memories of the 1950-53 Korean War that divided the peninsula.
One 68 year-old woman said it felt strange looking at the animals from the North, saying she thought they look underfed and sad.
Many South Koreans are sympathetic about food shortages in the impoverished North, which relies heavily on outside aid to feed its people.
The two Koreas remain technically at war, but exchanges between the countries have increased in recent years despite an ongoing standoff over the North's nuclear ambitions.

North Korean Celebrations / KBS뉴스(News)
[Anchor Lead]
North Korea celebrates New Year's Day on the solar calendar, unlike South Korea. Next, we will bring you scenes of North Koreans celebrating the first day of this year.
[Pkg]
The first sun of 2019 rises over the skies of Pyongyang. Dressed in the traditional Korean attirehanbok, families gather to celebrate New Year's Day together.
[Soundbite] Stay in good health, grandfather and grandmother.
Like in South Korea younger family members perform deep, formal bows called sebae to elders and receive gifts of money in return. They also exchange words of blessing with each other. Relatives exchange calendars as New Year's gifts. Calendars are of course common in South Korea. And In North Korea, calendars are a popular item for New year's gifts. Eating the rice cake soup tteokguk is an indispensable part of celebrating New Year's Day in North Korea as well. In the past, pheasant or chicken meat were used to make tteokguk, just as in old sayings. Recently, pork has been used in many cases. Hot pork soup with rice, which gained popularity as North Korean refugees settled in Busan, following the Korean War, is also a representative dish North Koreans usually have on New Year's Day. Some families dine out in celebration of the first day of the year. Their choice for dinner is ostrich meat, which is enjoying popularity among North Koreans recently.
[Soundbite] (Pyongyang Citizen) : Ostrich meat was delicious, filling the mouth with a good flavor.
An increasing number of people go out to watch performances. North Korea's acrobatics boast sophisticated, entertaining techniques from a trapeze performance to a hula-hoop show. Extravagant celebrations were staged on New Year's eve, such as a fireworks display and a drone show.
[Soundbite] (Pyongyang Citizen) : This year is completely different from previous years, since there have been many changes in North-South Korean ties and international relations.
