    ZoneId berlin = ZoneId.of("Europe/Berlin");
    ZoneId losAngeles = ZoneId.of("America/Los_Angeles");
    // 2014-02-20 12:00
    LocalDateTime dateTime = LocalDateTime.of(2014, 02, 20, 12, 0);

    // 2014-02-20 12:00, Europe/Berlin (+01:00)
    ZonedDateTime berlinDateTime = ZonedDateTime.of(dateTime, berlin);

    // 2014-02-20 03:00, America/Los_Angeles (-08:00)
    ZonedDateTime losAngelesDateTime = berlinDateTime.withZoneSameInstant(losAngeles);
    
    System.out.println(losAngelesDateTime);
