I like the idea, however there are some differencea between books and musical instruments. Hygiene is a problem with all woodwind instruments. Strings, sticks, cymbals, cables brake and need to be replaced regularly. Also a whole ass drumset is huge compared to a book. But there are rehearsal rooms that you can rent that also rent out instruments. It is expensive though.

So Olten is the Kassel of Switzerland. Got it. And living in Bern I've heard about the notion that they speak slowly. I cannot confirm. Tschugger without subtitles is impossible though. And Germans are so loud and often rude in a very particular way that I only noticed after I've moved here. Thanks for the insight!

So off topic, but what did Olten do? Help me integrate by dissing the right cities.

Three of those are obvious. Just learned about Glencore. But why Olten? Afaik that's just a city?

Come on! I just moved to Switzerland! I thought it was some wholesome swiss company. What else do I need to avoid?

What did I miss about Läderach?

Stayed in an probably illegal Airbnb in a Samsung apartment in Jeju 10 years ago. It was nice. Apartment complexes are not bad. We have to them in beautiful Switzerland too. If the building is well maintained and the surrounding is full of greenery, and local shops, and entertainment, then they are a valid option and I'd prefer them over sprawl and cul-de-sacs.

High rise apartments in Seoul Meanwhile in famously communist South Korea...

Yeah, that's a pretty rememberable event

Hey there, before I was dad, I also was a drummer and I know that a bad knee really sucks. The way I see it you have at least two choices here: Look for a profession that is not so depend on your body being in perfect shape at all times. That's what I did. Or you can focus on rudiments, playing with your other foot (with a double bass pedal), switch to a softer style of playing or a different genre. Don't power through the pain! Be gentle with yourself.

Well, of course we need to preserve these 2510 gold coins for future generations!
