Columbus, Ohio Ohio位於美國東北部,地處北美五大湖的 伊利湖(Lake Erie)南方,於1803年成為美國 第 17 個州。相鄰各州包括北方的密西根州 (Michigan),西方的印第安那州(Indiana), 南方的肯塔基州(Kentucky),東南方的西維吉 尼亞州(West Virginia),及東方的賓夕法尼亞 州( Pennsylvania)。州內生長著為數眾多的橡 Ohio State House 樹( Buckeye,因其果實外型酷似雄鹿的眼睛而 得名),因此又被稱為「The Buckeye State」;OSU的學生證也因此而取名「Buck ID」,球隊則名為「OSU Buckeyes」。Ohio的地理位置屬美國中西部平原之最東,該州經濟活動 以農業為主,不過其北方的Cleveland則是以汽車工業為主,而OSU所在 的Columbus則是Ohio State的州政府所在地,同時也是該州最大的城 市;但此城的名氣似乎尚不及Ohio的第二和第三大城:Cleveland & Cincinnati。Columbus的工作人口以白領階級為主,從事電腦、金融貿 易、保險等事業(全美第五大的保險公司Nationwide的總部即位於此); 從事醫療業的人口也不少,佔市內人口的8.1%。州稅6.750%,買東西 時可以自己估一下。 關於Columbus及Ohio還有一些有趣的事實:這裡是全美肥胖人口第 五多的州。此外Columbus是著名的速食連鎖店Wendy’s的發源地,還可 以在downtown與原始的Wendy 姑娘雕像合影哦!比較特殊的是, City Hall 前的哥倫布雕像 Columbus的downtown北邊有一區稱為Short North,是個藝廊聚集的 藝術村,也是全美同性戀第二多的地方,僅次於舊金山的Castro。 (2). Ohio State University (OSU) OSU是所quarter制(一學年分為四個學期)的學校, 位在dowtown北方車程約20分鐘處,是全美學生數第二多 的公立大學(五萬多名),校園相當大,因此在校園內有免費 OSU 校園 的巡迴公車(Campus Area Bus Service, CABS),搭載 學生到不同地方去上課。校園也略分為南、北以及西校區, 基本上我們所住的宿舍Jones Graduate Tower是位在北校 區,而醫院是在南校區,從宿舍步行到醫院約需15~20分 鐘;因此我們也入境隨俗的以搭CABS為主要上學方式,約7~10分鐘可 到醫院(CABS之發車班次頻率隨時段有所不同,詳情請見後文)。值得 注意的是南校區週遭是黑人區,每年都有一些校園暴動的事件發生,因 2 此天黑後最好不要到這個範圍活動。不過大致上來說Columbus的治安很良好,犯罪率據說比台北還低。出人 意料的是OSU的東方臉孔相當多,主要是韓國人居多,大陸人也相當多,台灣的留學生大約有200~300人, 有時在Jones Tower內就可以聽到熟悉的台灣國語;據說在60年代,OSU的台灣學生相當多,是當時赴美留學 人數排名第二多的學校,不少人就此定居下來,因此目前Columbus的華人也不少。 (3). OSU Medical Center OSU Medical Center由許多棟大樓所 組成,而我們主要的活動範圍都在其中的四 棟大樓:Rhodes Hall、Doan Hall、James Cancer Hospital及Ross Heart Hospital (另尚有牙科的Postle Hall,精神科的 OSU Medical Center Harding Hospital,復健科的Dodd Hall 及專做門診用途的Cramblett Medical Clinic等等大樓)。四棟大樓總病床數約為1000出頭(相較於台大的總 病床數約2000床,由於美國醫療保險制度下Medical Center所扮演的任務角色與台灣略有不同,因此這在美 國來說,算是非常非常大的醫院),就醫院的規模而言,雖然病床數較台大少,不過該有的內外婦產科的病房及 門診都有,小兒科則另有兒童醫院來照顧(位在downtown,從宿舍要轉兩趟車才能到,通勤時間約45分鐘); 在Columbus東邊另有一個University Hospital East,角色就像台大公館院區一般(搭公車要至downtown 轉車一次,車程約半小時)。Ross Heart Hospital是2004剛開始啟用的醫院,有90個床位,舉凡cardiac catheterization/intervention and electrophysiology labs、cardiac MRI & CT、noninvasive vascular lab、echo stress test suites以及nuclear stress labs等等一應俱全,是擁有各種最新醫療科技及設備的心 臟專科醫院。比較值得一提的是,住在這間醫院的病人,幾乎都是一人一間病房,裡面的陳設與布置其實與飯 店的房間有點相似,只不過多了許多的儀器。根據最新的U.S. News & World Report,OSU醫學院的排名在 research方面在醫學院中排名37,primary care則排23,和Johns Hopkins同分(U.S. News: America’s Best Graduate Schools 2006)。 至於硬體設備則跟台大相仿,不過美國土地遼闊,空間規劃較舒適,這是地狹人稠的台灣所無法比的。值 得一提的是,OSU Medical Center「號稱」有一座擁有目前地球上最強磁場的MRI(磁場強度為8 Tesla [T], 一般的MRI磁場強度都只有0.5~1.5T),解析度相當強,可以將大腦神經細胞的突觸都看清楚,目前通過FDA 許可,但僅提供人體實驗用。為什麼說號稱呢?因為聽說哈佛擁有一台強度達到9 Tesla的MRI…此外,由於OSU 附有James Cancer Hospital,因此關於癌症的治療相當完備,他們有一個次專科 - Radiology Oncology, 這是指專門運用radiation來治療癌症,但是跟我們的放射治療科不太一樣的是,他們所做的除了我們所熟知的 radiation therapy,還偏重一些外科的治療,主要是在開刀時加入radiation(Intra-operative radiation therapy),以及進行γ-knife、cyber-knife等手術。 二、行前準備: (1). 聯絡 Dr. Harrison Weed Dr. Weed的夫人海教授是我們台大的學姊,因此 Dr. Weed 略懂中文,是此 visiting student program 3 的義務協助人,對我們生活課業的照顧相當周到。他本身是感染科醫師與一般醫學科醫師,現在主要在作 ENT 的 general medicine consult,負責 pre-op 和 post-op 的內科問題照會;如果你們選 gen. med. consult 就會跟著 Dr. Weed,可以學到不少 PE 的技巧。第一次見到 Dr. Weed 時,他會問你們想到美國學什麼,這時 得好好想想能在那邊學什麼台灣學不到的東西,不然會被小電一下。此外,Dr. Weed 還會與我們訂下每個禮 拜討論一次學習成果的約定,並且會給予我們學習當面的建議。 到 OSU 後與 Dr. Weed 密切聯絡,請求協助安排 courses,在 Dr. Weed 的協調下,我們選課的自由度 其實相當有彈性。Dr. Weed 辦公室的電話是 (614) 293-8110,電子郵件 [email protected]。 (2). 選課 Med 3/4 課程網址:[https://sis.med.ohio-state.edu/Med34Catalog.cfm] 可以選 full catalog 內的 course,不必受限於 international visiting student 的身分。Dr. Weed 認為 以我們的臨床經驗,比較建議我們選擇三年級部分的 course;不過還是沒有什麼限制啦! 如果想選內科的 course,可以請 Dr. Weed 推薦與協助。雖然以之前學長姊的經驗,對於初選出來的選課 結果如果不滿意都是可以要求更換的;但如果可以的話,我們還是建議學弟妹盡量別在到了 OSU 之後再換課 程,這樣可以避免許多不必要的麻煩以及時間上面的浪費,畢竟 遠來是客,安排我們到醫院裡見習就已經很麻煩人家了。不過, 請學弟妹注意,如果真的要換的話,通常也只能換同一科系的, 比如說原本是內科系的課程,只能換成內科系的課程。另外有個 小建議,如果學弟妹要選內科的 inpatient 課程或外科的話,可 以考慮將其放在第二個 rotation;因為內科 inpatient 和外科通 常會需要很早到醫院(六點之前),如果是第二個 rotation 的話, 天氣通常比較好(三月仍常常會下雪),也可以少走一點夜路。 看到雪了嗎? (3). 行李確認 最重要的是含有簽證(J-1)的護照、OSU 核發的 DS-2019 form、機票、國際駕照,還有現金信用卡; 國際學生證可以不用辦,因為 OSU 發的 Buck ID(他們的學生證)就很好用。其他建議帶筆記電腦、PDA, 至於教科書則視所選科目酌量攜帶,建議帶齊全一些,美國的書價蠻貴的。其他的東西則大部分都可以在當地 買到(可參考附錄一:行李清單)。 (4). 住宿 請 OSU 助教幫忙聯絡 Jones Graduate Tower,利用 E-mail 將信用卡先行預約住宿,今年我們到時已 經沒有什麼房間可以選了,感覺還蠻熱門的,所以在二月份時先預約比較保險。 三、初到: (1). 接機 可以和台灣同學會聯絡,網址為[http://www.service.ohio-state.edu/stutdent/tsa/],或是到 PTT3 4 (telnet://ptt3.cc/)上面的 OSU 台灣同學會版上詢問。找 OSU 小天使(OSU 醫學院有替我們每人安排一 位接待的醫學生,他們在行前都會和我們聯絡)幫忙也是一個可行的辦法,他們可以是未來一個月的好伙伴、 好導遊、好司機。 如果要從機場坐計程車到 Jones Tower,車費大概是 20 至 30 元美金(一定要先跟司機問清楚)。Jones Tower 的地址是 101 Curl Drive,如果司機不知道的話,就說靠近 North High Street 和 West Lane Avenue 的交叉口。 (2). 抵達校園報到 住宿(可參考之後食衣住行住的部分)安頓好後,要在上班 時間到 OIE ( Office of International Education )去聽 orientation 並且辦理註冊登記,在此可以獲得很多一些的資 訊。他們的 Orientation 在星期一至星期五下午四點到五點。 從 Jones Tower 走路到 OIE 約十五分鐘,走 法 是:從 Jones Tower 出來往前走到 Woodruff Avenue 右轉(往西),在遇到 的第一個紅綠燈左轉,一直直走就會走到 Neil Avenue 上,路上 將經過總圖書館和 Mirror Lake,而過了 Mirror Lake 不遠就是 Oxley Hall (Office of International Education) OIE(Oxley Hall);其實就在 James Cancer Hospital 對面。 詳細路線請參考地圖(http://www.osu.edu/map/)。 先去找 Jessica 拿兩份證明信件,用來申辦 Buck ID 與 Hospital ID。Buck ID 要在 Lincoln Tower 辦理,裡面可以存錢,當作信用卡用;而至於 Hospital ID 可以在向所選科部的助理報到時,請她帶你們去辦理(拿到證明信件之後就 可以去辦理;若要想要自行辦理的話,ID Processing 辦公室是在 Ross Heart Hospital 的一樓,Season’s Cafeteria 對面)。內科的部份,今年是 Patricia Crabtree 幫我們處理的,她的辦公室在 207 Means Hall;外科的部分則是 Anna Patterson,她的辦公室在 308 Means Hall。建議學弟妹在課程開始的 前一個禮拜三到達 OSU,因為要把這些程序完成大約要兩天。若是毫無頭緒要 Lincoln Tower 如何辦理這些必要的證明文件,就先去找 med 3/4 assistant(Jessica Small 和 Barbara Tzagournis)。 四、生活: 食 前言 「吃」在美國是很貴的一件事情,至少在 Columbus 是如此;即使是吃一餐速食,4~5 塊美金也跑不掉。 那學弟妹該如何是好呢?綜觀這次同學們的意見和作法有兩種:第一,既來之則安之!反正民以食為天,吃得 飽才有體力好好在醫院工作,所以當吃則吃,不要再把每餐的價格換成台幣跟台北的物價比了,這樣真的會吃 不下去。第二類,真的太貴了!大家到美國想做的事好多,不能把錢全花在吃東西上面,當省則省。所以盡量 5 想辦法自己開火,即使不得以到外面吃東西,少點一杯飲料健康又省錢,不然份量大不要逼自己硬吃完,打包 回家再吃一餐。 既然如此,我們盡量把我們吃過的餐廳跟學弟妹介紹,避免大家好不容易出門吃頓好吃的又採到地雷,那 可真是欲哭無淚。不過,有些餐廳離 OSU 還蠻遠的,除非有認識當地的朋友,不然要到達那些地方還真有些 困難。此外,參酌學長之前留下的食譜和推薦的網站,教大家如何利用微波爐求生;當然,學弟妹也可以在台 灣先練好手藝或是出發前挑幾本食譜到 OSU 練習練習。 當然,吃東西和住的地方絕對有關係,所以看到 Jones Tower 或是 University Village(UV)這些地方 可以先熟悉一下,等等在住宿篇會有詳細介紹。 以下的介紹分為餐廳篇、超市篇和食譜篇! 餐廳 Asian 1. Chinese No.1, Joy’s Village, Chinese Village 上面三家是位於 N. High St.上的中國菜餐廳,剛好由南至北排列。對於住 Jones Tower 的學弟妹相當方 便,三者相距不超過 2 個 block。其中最推薦的是 Joy’s Village(醉樂村):平均一餐加稅加小費的消費大概 6 ~7 塊美金,如果外帶可以不用給小費,稍微便宜些。這裡一餐的份量大概可以讓男生吃 1.5 餐,女生吃 2 餐, 尤其在店內用餐,飯是無限供應,而且吃不完還可以打包當下一餐,還蠻划算的。另外,考慮多些人一起去, 點菜吃桌餐,變化較大。好吃的餐點有竹節羊、左宗棠雞、中國芥蘭或空心菜炒牛、羊、雞任一種肉類;菜單 上不會列出中國芥蘭和空心菜,記得和老闆娘問一下(老闆娘會講中文唷!),此外,要強調是「中國」芥蘭, 不然一般美國的中國餐廳所指的芥蘭其實是綠花椰菜(broccoli)。還有,絕對不要輕易嘗試這兒的海南雞飯, 整盤飯只有雞胸肉以微波爐煮熟,未加任何調味,自己沾醬油或辣醬,吃過的一致搖頭,不要再當下一個受害 者啦! 至於 Chinese No.1 是很道地的美式中國快餐,單點一餐 4.25 美金(含稅不用給小費),份量也很大,不 過味道只是普通尚可接受而已;店裡所指的 egg roll 其實是炸春捲,但是不好吃,所以不用因為好奇心去試這 個東西了。至於 Chinese Village 我們只去過一次,其消費和 Joy’s Village 差不多,但份量較少而且味道更 差,所以不推薦。 綜觀之前學長姐的經驗和我們的甘苦談,以及當地台灣研究生的評論,只要躲過一些地雷,Joy’s Village 就是不錯的選擇;但畢竟是在美國的餐廳,所以口味還是較鹹、重且不道地,不能有太多不實際的期待! 2. Bobo Bobo 位於 N. High St.上,在醉樂村的旁邊,是一家神奇的店,裡面有賣很多飲料,也有餐點。這家店的 特色是很像台灣的泡沫紅茶店,可以喝到珍珠奶茶和各式各樣的飲料(茶類和冰沙),飲料不便宜(印象中 3 塊錢左右),味道只能說差強人意。餐點部分,有賣鹽酥雞和炸豆腐,還有其他的餐點,鹽酥雞味道十分奇怪, 炸豆腐還可以,強力推薦香菇雞肉麵(好像叫 oriental chicken noodle)。店裡面有提供一些小遊戲,像是 UNO 和一些積木類的遊戲,可以試試看。 3. 福臨門 位於 UV 附近的中國餐廳,有一些港式點心和一般的中國菜,一道菜約 7~12 塊美金,菜的份量不小,但 老實說並不十分的美味,只能說是普普,港式點心似乎也不怎麼樣,不推薦。 6 4. China Dynasty 這是位於「The Shops on Lane Avenue」裡的一家中國餐廳。也是我們在 Columbus 吃過各家中國菜 後覺得最棒的餐廳,可惜我們只跟 Dr. Weed 去吃過一次!根據我們查到的交通資訊,只有在 weekday 時可 以搭 COTA #84 到那,而 weekend 不發車。所以除非平日很早下班才有機會去那品嚐道地中式料理(因為回 來的末班車還蠻早的),不然可能就要請有開車的朋友帶大家過去了。 5. 玉宮 這間是 Dr. Weed 招待學長們去吃的,位在 Bethol Rd.上,因為我們是被載去的,所以交通方式不詳,可 以向 Dr. Weed 或海博士請教。這是一間 buffet,除了一般常見的菜色外,其特色在於有燒賣、叉燒包等樣港 式飲茶類的東西,此外還有提供米粉湯和豆漿。餐廳燈光十分的昏暗,其實並沒有特別好吃,不用刻意去嘗試。 6. 獅子林 這是學長們被朋友帶去吃的,在 Bethol Rd.上,坐 COTA #18 往 Tuttle Mall 的路線可以抵達,可以向 認識的人請教確切位置。這是間以點菜為主的中國餐廳,餐廳很舒適寬敞,一道菜在 10 元美金上下,菜的份 量超大,白飯是不用錢的。芝麻雞肉大力推薦,味道甜甜的,很下飯。 7. Mongolian Grill 這是一間連鎖店,地點在 Arena District(downtown 西北邊)附近,可以在 N. High St.上搭 COTA #18 或#2 往市中心的路線,是以蒙古烤肉為主的 buffet。一人份在 12 元美金左右,飲料點了之後是無限續杯的。 除了烤肉外,桌上有提供很像用麵皮之類的做成的烤餅佐菜,非常好吃,但通常要排很久的隊。 8. Korean Restaurant 這是學長們光顧的,我們並沒有吃過這家餐廳的經驗;學長們也不知道它的名字,所以只好叫它韓國餐廳。 它的位置有些不好找,是在 E. Lane Ave.和 N. High St.十字路口的西北角第一條小巷子左轉走到底。雖然是 韓國人開的餐廳,他們也會用簡單的中文招呼我們;就算菜單和後面的說明都看不懂,也可以一直問服務人員, 他們相當親切。或許吃一餐含稅和小費的價格不便宜,至少需 10~12 元美金,但每桌有六樣小菜可免費續盤, 而且用餐氣氛佳,是個平時打牙祭不錯的選擇。 9. 龍運 Buffet 就在 Goodwill、友利和郵局的旁邊,8 元美金中國菜吃到飽,如果想吃粗飽的話,是個便宜又不遠的不錯 選擇。菜色還蠻多的,只是每次去都沒什麼變,吃兩次就不會再想去了。 10. Mark Pi’s 這是間連鎖中式快炒餐廳,Ross Heart Hospital 旁邊的 food court 內就開了一家。可以選擇一樣至三 樣菜搭配白飯或者是炒飯的選擇,另外也有許多其他菜色可以挑選。2 items 加飯的話大概是 5 元美金左右, 相當經濟實惠,東西還不難吃,是在醫院中午時,想要吃中國菜的選擇。

  • Scenic Design for the Musical Godspell
    Scenic design for the musical Godspell Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Fine Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Sarah Sugarbaker Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2009 Master’s Examination Committee: Professor Dan Gray, M.F.A. Advisor Professor Mandy Fox, M.F.A. Professor Kristine Kearney, M.F.A. Copyright by Sarah Sugarbaker 2009 Abstract In April of 2009 the Ohio State University Theatre Department produced Godspell, a musical originally conceived by John‐Michael Tebelak with music by Stephen Schwartz. This production was built and technically rehearsed in the Thurber Theatre, and then moved to the Southern Theatre in downtown Columbus, OH. As the scenic designer of this production I developed an environment in which the actors and director created their presentation of the text. Briefly, the director’s concept (Appendix A) for this production was to find a way to make the production relevant to the local population. Godspell centers around the creation and support of a community, so by choosing to reference the City Center Mall, an empty shopping center in downtown Columbus, the need for making a change as a community was emphasized. This environment consisted of three large walls that resembled an obscured version of the Columbus skyline, inspired by advertisements within the shopping center. Each wall had enlarged newspapers that could be seen under a paint treatment of vibrant colors. The headlines on these papers referenced articles that the local paper has written about the situation at the shopping center, therefore making the connection more clear.
