Petrol station as a place for sightseeing

I noticed one particularly nice thing in Finland - when you pass relatively big petrol stations in small muncipalities in Finland, you notice that they become not only the centre of life (eating out, shopping, etc) but sightseeings as well. As I remember ABC petrol station in Juva have nice decorations in form of pigs, when you enter Mikkeli you see the dinosaur (if I remember correctly, its eyes glow red in the dark!) and in some place on the way to Lahti an old aircraft serves as a decoration.

And yes, it is Russian.

Yes, of course, originally it did not copy the color scheme of ABC: you can see how it looked before. Antonov An-2 prototype was made in the USSR in 1947. In nineties it was still used in different countries, including China.

So, a nice way it is - learning history through making stops at the petrol stations across the country!
