It is better to learn Germany culture first before dinner with a German

I have a friend who comes from German. Last holiday, he came to Asia and visited me in my city. I was very happy at that time, so I took him for a walk and then stopped for dinner in a restaurant nearby. As a Javanese people, I had to treat my guest the best (well, in Javanese culture, the guest is a "king"), so I paid the bill before the foods coming, without his knowing. After finishing the meal, he called the waiter for the bill, but the waiter said that it was paid, then I told him that I already paid for it. he was really upset and said that in germany culture, he had to pay his own, even mine too as a girl. Okay, that's just a small parts about the difference between our culture.
