"Buenos Aires for me has had a 'place in my heart' since my mid twenties, and has continued to do so for a long time since. It started with several photos of the dockside area La Boca, which I saw in a book I no longer recall. What I do remember is they were all black and white, and had a generally dreary appearance... These images were not what you would call memorable, but together with the striking place name La Boca, an inner longing for Argentina, and the town of Buenos Aires in particular, has had a strong pull on my heart... and I have been unable to let go." The text is printed in Japanese, Spanish, and English.
