a transit visa will allow you to leave the airport but if you get that the first time then you will not be given another visa for your second trip a few weeks later....

also, when applying for the transit visa, they may question you on the fact that you are flying back 30 hours later....what you want to tell them is on you....i don't think these people quite understand the concept of a mr....
