Abstract

Culture shock is often referred to completely different experiences faced outside one’s hometown or comfort zone. The factor that causes culture shock is mainly geographical, such as living in the East and West would serve one differently. Nevertheless, in this contemporary era, where technology advances take place, living in one’s comfort zone is also prone to experiencing culture shock. This research aims to point out manifestation and the representation of the virtual metropolis where urban dwellers experience fast-paced, rapid changes in their own home. The shift from concrete buildings to virtual world is changing the game of the urban dwellers: homesickness in one’s own space. This discussion shows that urban dwellers, despite their blasé attitude, experienced culture shock. Cities being the center of economy promotes anonymity and bringing it to the virtual metropolis leaves little safety and security yet brings out more opportunities in different kind of spaces of flows and places. The connectivity with its ‘anytime-anywhere’ trait creates countless possibilities.
