倫敦街頭四處可見具代表性的紅色雙層巴士。瑟尼向一名荷蘭人購買了一輛1957年出廠、重達6噸的這種巴士，將其加裝兩條醒目的紅色手臂與引擎，使手臂能支撐巴士並上下運動，如同俯臥撐的動作；同時配上喘氣聲和窗戶投影，使其更具特色。

    　據德國媒體報導，倫敦奧運會許多國家、地區紛紛祭出高額獎金鼓舞選手。報導中說，金牌獎金最高的是亞美尼亞的70萬歐元，約新台幣2580萬元（以下同）。其次是鄰近的亞塞拜然的2358萬元，然後是新加坡的2122萬元，台灣的1200萬元排第4名。

    　另據《新華社》日前從亞塞拜然、亞美尼亞的鄰國喬治亞發出的報導指出，該國開出120萬美元金牌獎金，折合新台幣3609萬元。若屬實，將躍居倫奧第1，也把台灣擠到第5位。

    　台灣鄰近的東協國家經濟發展迅速，如馬來西亞金牌獎金有1160萬元之譜，已和台灣相去不遠；菲律賓則為941萬元，也相當不錯。" C0 X/ e" f8 G+ T# t) l
    　反倒是傳統體育強國比較不重視金錢，如義大利金牌獎金是517萬元。白俄羅斯454萬元、日本388萬元、俄羅斯369萬元、中國236萬元、美國76萬元、德國55萬元。只不過，地方政府或民間廠商必會另外給予選手獎勵，金額恐將數倍、十倍於此。
