Abstract

Currently, there are many international students come to Indonesia to learn the language and culture. However, it is undeniable that they experienced a very diverse culture shock when they arrived in Indonesia. There are many differences that they experience ranging from weather, food, different ways of eating, time and delay problems to different type of toilet.  This study aims to answer the questions on how they adapt to the new culture, and how to become competent in intercultural communication.
