Hi Robert, You have touched a very simple but always confusing questions - storing dates and showing them to users in different places.
As I know Django uses that in very straightforward way. It always converts dates to UTC. Flow that converts them back to different users in different time-zones is adjusted through settings. Please check settings for your testing environment. More information you can find on that `i18` documentation page <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/topics/i18n/>. Regards, I hope that helps.
