La Boca is a neighborhood in Buenos Aires, home of Boca Juniors football team, colourful houses and a bad reputation for being a bit dangerous. I have a friend here doing some volunteer work with a community group in La Boca and he very kindly showed us around yesterday, introduced us to some locals and told us about the area. The football stadium and coloured houses (originally done using left over ship paint from the docks) were impressive, but once away from the tourist street it was quite slummy and I wouldn't want to be there late at night.
