ROARING DRAGONS Displayed fireworks to ward off evil spirits in the new year -- a scene repeated across the country. Pollution levels in the city, which has come under fire for its bad air quality, spiked in the early hours of Monday morning as fireworks filled the skies with particulates, before falling back down again, official data showed. North Koreans marked the Lunar New Year by laying flowers before portraits of late leader Kim Jong-Il and recollecting his "undying feats", the official news agency reported. Those living in the Philippines were able to sleep in on Monday after the Lunar New Year became an official holiday for the first time, despite objections from some in the business community.
