They say May 18 is kokusai shinzen dei(国際親善デー), International Goodwill Day. On May 18, 1899 the First Peace Conference (Hague Conference) was held in Den Haag, in the Netherlands by the suggestion of Nikolas II of Russia. 26 countries including Japan attended to the conference. In Japan it has been practiced since 1931.
Speaking of goodwill, I got a thank you letter today because I gave my Japanese used stamps to the person who likes collecting in the United States the other day. For me they were used stamps, but for others they are valuable. I am glad to have done so.
