I made it!
I finally arrived at the Chiang Mai airport last night and took an overpriced taxi to the guesthouse I had exchanged a few very confusing emails with and where I hoped I had a room reserved. Fortunately they didn't seem too surprised when I arrived and although there ended up being several unexpected fees I was thankful that at least I knew where I was going to be sleeping, and it'll be nice to have my own room and bathroom for the first month while I get the lay of the land.
There is a market in the plaza right outside of my building which has lots of stalls with clothing, iPhone accessories, jewelry and, in the back, rows of food stalls reminiscent of Marrakech. I managed to order a vegetable stir fry for about $1.50, my first success!
