I think whats important to remember with alot of places, is there aren't that many places you can go. Normally a city lies on a 'major road' (which might compare to a small b road in the UK).
You either drive one way or the other. You probably came from one direction, so you probably should carry on the other direction. Most cities are nothing like London/Manchester and may be made up of 3/4 roads. You will also realise very soon that western travellers are the oracle of information, coming in the opposite direction, people swap addreses, good places to eat, stay, maps. Its very simple especially when there are lots of backpackers about.
Hotel is an international language. The word 'Hotel' will be liberally plastered around. The international sign for 'i need a place to sleep' is to place two hands togethor, put your head on them, close your eyes and make snoring noises. Then raise your hands to say where is. Its very simlpe how to communicate. Food wise...you'll never stave. Sometimes you'll end up eating packet noodles or crisps for a week (Cambodia preah vihear...not a culinary treat)...but its half the fun.
Finally...just remember 'It will be alright'
