ABSTRACT
Transcultural marriages are known globally. Since 1980s, the trend of transcultural marriage between Indonesian brides and Taiwan groom has already began (Poerwandari, 2005). In transcultural marriage, culture is important part of adaptation. By adapting the symbolic interactionism philosophy, the researcher expects that the participants would draw freely with their own symbols about their culture adaptation to Taiwan.
This study was designed as qualitative approach. Totally, six Indonesian brides were interviewed and invited to draw freely. Five themes of culture adaptation were described as the experiences of the Indonesian brides with Islamic belief, including language adaptation, food adaptation, social atmosphere, family tradition and spirituality adaptation.
In conclusion, language preparation and learning were experienced as the most important part of cultural adaptation for Indonesian brides in Taiwan.
