I'm in Asia!!

It's midnight on a Friday here in Ho Chi Minh City (hereafter referred to as Saigon, because it's easier to type), and it's very hot. I'm using one of the computers at my hotel (cost is 20,000 dong per hour, about $1.33). I had no problems with my flights or connection in Tokyo. I was able to sleep a little bit on the planes, and the flights didn't seem that long (11 hours + 3-hr layover + 6 hours). But I couldn't get my card to work in the ATM at the Saigon airport, and the airport transfer that I paid too much for and arranged ahead of time through my tour company did not show up. I looked around the area just outside the doors where everyone was gathered waiting for international arrivals, but none of the signs held up had my name on it. I waited for 20 or 30 minutes, feeling tired, hot, and self-concious as a hundred Vietnamese people stared at me and various taxis drivers tried to recruit me as their passenger. (They weren't too bothersome, actually; they were kind of soft-spoken about it). Maybe I should have waited longer, but I decided that my ride wasn't coming, and I chose to go with the taxi driver who spoke the best English and had the best teeth. I paid him in US dollars, which meant that I ended up paying too much, but it was still only $10 including tip - not unreasonable (this type of thing is affectionately referred to as the "tourist tax").
I'm kind of hungry but will have to wait to eat until breakfast tomorrow morning (included at my hotel). The hotel seems OK so far... I think the location is good, from what I saw on the ride here. I don't think it has sunk in yet that I'm in SE Asia! I'm tired... time to sleep!
