Moreover, these problems hang on both parties. Therefore, analyzing the symptoms and forms of culture shocks is interesting leading to the way to overcome. One sample of multicultural society grows in Yogyakarta. The number of foreigners aim to study Bahasa Indonesia deal with Yogyakarta people as native Javanese are unique for their inquiries and comments towards Javanese culture. This research shows that although some forms of culture shocks strongly happened, they finally could manage to adapt with some strict normative rules and make friends to Indonesian people.
