When you have the hang of creating calendar entries, you can make the task much easier with these
tips:
Choose a default calendar.
Tap Settings
⇒
Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and then flick the
screen until the Calendar section appears. Tap Default Calendar and select the calendar that
you want to show up regularly.
Make events appear according to whichever time zone you selected for your calendars.
In the Calendar settings, tap Time Zone Support to turn it on, and then tap Time Zone. Type
