"Salute"

In front of The Metropolitan Museum, I just ended on a tour of art; a beautiful sound of the saxophone got my attention and guided me to this guy. He suddenly started playing the anthem of my nation as he saw me. I was surprised and thought it might be a coincidence, but he gave me a humorous salute after the solemn music finished. It was weird and hilarious; "how do you know where I came from?" I asked. He pointed to my shirt, and I realized abruptly that the words on my shirt were, "2017 Taipei Summer Universiade". What an encounter! This is so New York!
