Post September 2008 the opportunities and resources to indulge and enjoy life were restricted to a lucky few as the world entered a long standing global recession. Europe in particular is on the verge of a major economic collapse as it battles to resolve the sovereign debt crisis which has now ballooned to enormous proportions.
