Antarctica has a rail line along the entire coast line? That’s fancy, to bad it has no stations though, probably you just hop on while the train is going.

Yes, and it’s not a new thing. It is not unusual to go to mandatory military service and come back with permanent injuries or trauma. The only official way to avoid getting there is studying. Therefore there is such an inflation of students in whatever field. Most surreal for me was always the following: after you graduate (e.g. from school) you are “vulnerable” until you are enrolled into a university, so they try to get into anything asap. And sometimes the military guys are waiting at the graduation event, to scoop you up before you can even leave the building.
