"  The Diary of Marie Claire&amp;#039;s French Intern My name is Barbara and I&amp;#039;m 25 years old. I just finished studying French literature in La Sorbonne, a university in France. I knew everything about my city and my friends, and now I live on the Upper East Side near Central Park and work as an intern at Marie Claire magazine. It&amp;#039;s a big change! And so much to discover! My editor asked if I would share this adventure with you. Of course! So for the next three months you can see how a French girl lives in New York, a city huge and incredible compared to Paris. I&amp;#039;ll be in the first row to understand my new environment, which is really exciting. Last week I didn&amp;#039;t realize how quickly my life was going to change. My first impression was that New York is so punchy and the people are so open-minded! I started to understand how New York can be crazier than Paris. For example, last weekend, I was walking down the street exploring the shops at Union Square when suddenly I saw people without pants. Then, I saw others on the subway and again near Greenwich Village \u2014 men and women without pants. Yes, in their underwear! When I asked what was going on, someone told me that it was &amp;quot;Wear your underwear day.&amp;quot; Nobody but me seemed to pay attention to these people, pantless in the snow. I can&amp;#039;t imagine what would happen if something like that had been organized in Paris. I think everybody would have been taken to the police station for an &amp;quot;attack on decency.&amp;quot; That&amp;#039;s what I like about New York \u2014 people do what they want, wear what they want, and nobody judges them.
