Its probably just me, but the idea of getting married strikes fear into my heart at this point in life. I know I'm thinking about going to China and getting my PhD, but man, dang, that is alot of commitment.
And for me the idea of committing to one place to do my PhD for 5-8 years strikes fear in my heart. I'll have to do it as soon as I finish my master's, but it's still scary.
I went to Japan for 5 years (actually 4 and a half) to get my PhD, and Hashem found me a wife even when I was there, which is quite amazing actually... The Chinese community is quite interesting- if you are going to HK the community is huge and very nice, but Shanghai and Beijing also have nice (but very Chabad-dominated) communities.
