Candy Box for the TCK

The package is meant to resemble that of a suitcase/luggage at first sight, with the baggage tag referring to  TCK-related jokes. (E.g., address: which one?  phone: which one? )   

As the bag is opened, it folds into that of a plane. 

As the plane opens, one will discover miniature (1.5 inched squares) houses that all belong to a certain country. Postage stamps act as a pattern for my package design.

Removing the roof will then reveal a chocolate heart. (Sculpted with sculpey then molded and casted) 
The recipient is to eat a heart, then move to the next destination as indicated by the paper plane that sits below the heart. The eating of the heart symbolises the heartache each time one moves homes. 

Closeup of the countries as houses: Germany, France, Netherlands in first row.
 
 

 

In order to move in the right order, one has to be quite cosmopolitan ! ;) Can you identify the countries below? 
Enjoy!
