Two Trips from Europe to Asia in one day

So, how to you make two trips from Europe to Asia in one day? I guess there may be many ways, but this week I did it by crossing over the Ural River in Atyrau Kazakhstan (two round trips from the european side). I can now state based on personal knowledge it is better to visit Atyrau in October than late January/early February, unless you like -5 F with -25 F wind chill and snow more than you like 50-60 F and no snow. No palm trees in fall, winter, spring, or summer.
