In this episode, everything that could go wrong... went wrong. It started with a careless mistake in Fort Nelson (I forgot my main camera 700km away!). But the real shock came when my US Visa renewal hit a roadblock—Administrative Processing (221g).

Suddenly, I was stuck. No Passport. No Travel. And winter was approaching. I had to make a tough decision: Abandon my Jeep Cherokee in an open parking lot in Edmonton and wait. A 2-week stopover turned into a 1-year detour.

From fighting sadness to finding a "Desi People" during Chhath Puja in Toronto, this is a story of resilience. After almost 1 year, I am finally flying back to Canada. The big question is: After sitting in -30°C snow for a year, **will the car start?**
